Solid Waste Division Chief: Michael Thomas
Recycling Coordinator: William Teter
The Calvert County Division of Solid Waste manages the disposal and recycling of the county’s solid waste stream. The Division operates the Appeal Landfill, located two miles west of Lusby and 15 miles south of Prince Frederick. The facility opened in 1993 as Maryland’s first state-of-the art landfill. In 1997, the county took advantage of lower disposal costs at a private out-of-state landfill and “mothballed” the Appeal Landfill for future use.
Calvert County also offers seven Convenience Center locations where residents can dispose of trash and recyclables.
The daily operations of the county’s solid waste and recycling efforts are supported by the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The fund, established in 1992, is wholly supported by fees collected from solid waste haulers and residents, as well as solid waste fees collected on the county’s tax bills.
Posting Signage at the Appeal Municipal Landfill Entrance
Calvert County based non-profit agencies only may submit a written request for permission to post an approved sign (4' x 8' only) at the entrance to the Appeal Municipal Landfill. The posting duration is limited to 14 days and all signage must be removed by the organization within 24 hours after the event (or the approved end date). Placement of signs may not be scheduled earlier than three months before the date of the advertised event. Signage that displays alcohol or tobacco branding is prohibited.
Organizations wishing to post a sign must submit a completed request form to the Division of Solid Waste for approval. Written requests may be mailed to the Calvert County Division of Solid Waste (P.O. Box 1330, Lusby, MD 20657) or faxed to 410-586-9461. Electronic copies of the rules and request form are attached below:
