The Carroll County Solid Waste Management Commission is committed to providing environmentally responsible waste management and recycling services for Carroll County and surrounding communities. As the region’s designated landfill and recycling center, we play a vital role in preserving our environment while promoting sustainability for future generations.
Our mission is to manage solid waste in an efficient, safe, and environmentally sound manner. We operate under the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, and responsible disposal, ensuring compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
At our Regional Landfill, we use modern engineering practices to safely contain and manage waste, protecting soil, water, and air quality. Our Recycling Center offers accessible drop-off services for a wide variety of materials—ranging from paper and plastics to electronics and household hazardous waste—helping residents and businesses reduce their environmental footprint.

Recycling centers play a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability through diverting reusable waste away from landfills. At our regional recycling facility, we prioritize quality by hand-sorting all food-grade materials that come through our doors. Plastic containers marked with the numbers 1, 2, and 5, as well as aluminum products, steel cans, glass, paper, cardboard, and plastic bags and films are accepted for recycling as long as they are empty, clean, and dry. This meticulous process ensures that the materials we send out for reuse meet the highest standards possible.
