Permitted Solid Waste Acceptance Facilities (pdf)

Note:  MDE collects and reports in the annual MRA Tonnage Reporting Surveys the amount waste disposed at permitted  Solid Waste Acceptance Facilities.  Counties still need to report the waste recycled at the permitted acceptance facilities along with the waste disposed at solid waste acceptance facilities that are not permitted in Maryland.  Counties should print a copy of the permitted acceptance facilities for their records.

Multiple permitted solid waste acceptance facilities with the same contact information are listed under a single contact.  For example, in Calvert County (page 2) Appeal MSW Landfill, Calvert County Transfer Station, and Barstow Sanitary Landfill (Closed) are listed under the same contact information.  In this example, information needs to be reported from the 2 active facilities.
