The Garrett County Solid Waste and Recycling Division is requesting that local businesses complete their 2009 recycling reports by the March 15 deadline. Forms will be mailed this month.
The Maryland Recycling Act (MRA) authorized the Maryland Department of the Environment in 1988 to reduce the disposal of solid waste in Maryland through management, education, and regulation.
The MRA requires that each of Maryland's jurisdictions develop and implement recycling programs and report the amount and types of materials recycled annually. Populations with less than 150,000 are required to recycle 15 percent of their waste.
"Therefore, we are requesting that each business in Garrett County report its recycling efforts within the county or outside of the county and state," said local recycling coordinator Kim Madigan. "The Solid Waste and Recycling Division is proud of the Garrett County residents and businesses who helped us achieve a 47.95 percent recycling rate in 2008. These efforts are applauded."
