Solid Waste and Recycling

The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund was established in 1992.  The Division of Solid Waste manages the disposal and recycling of the county's solid waste stream.  The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund 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 which support the daily operations of the Solid Waste and Recycling Operations conducted throughout Calvert County.
