WICOMICO EXECUTIVE BOB CULVER ANNOUNCES RECYCLING SUCCESS

Executive Bob Culver announced today the State of Maryland has released the Maryland Recycling Act totals for calendar year 2017. Wicomico County is ranked #1 in Maryland with a recycling rate of 57.65% overall. The success of the county-wide recycling program is dependent on businesses and citizens diverting materials such as cardboard, glass, metal, plastics, and vegetative debris from the overall waste stream. These efforts, while helping protect the environment, help extend the life of the Newland Park Landfill.

Under Executive Culver, efforts have been undertaken to update and upgrade the recycling centers across the county. New signage, lighting, and security features have been installed at various locations and increased efforts have been made to keep each site clean. In addition, recycling bins located at certain convenience centers are being moved outside the gated area to allow recycling drop-off at all hours.

For more information on the Wicomico County recycling program, please call 410-548-4935.

Can we get recycling back in fruitland? I see deer run has their own private one but there hasn’t been a public one since the one by the city building was removed

If you want recycling back in Fruitland’s city limits you better put pressure on your City Council. They’re the reason why it’s gone!

The Landfill is not run using tax payer dollars.
