Howard County Recycling Program
County Recycling Program participants may place their recyclables out all together. Paper, cardboard, metal cans, plastics, and glass bottles & jars can be combined all together. A blue cart, bin or see-through bag is all you need. Yard trim should be placed out separately on your recycling day. More...
