Are you a certified Work Green Howard business?
You could be!
Each year, the Maryland Department of the Environment requires Howard County to report recycling activities that take place within the county. All local businesses that generate or process recyclables are urged to report their total waste stream to the Howard County Department of Public Works. Businesses who report will be certified as a Work Green Howard business.
The Work Green Howard program makes the reporting process simple by providing a centralized hub for user-friendly forms and comprehensive information regarding materials that count toward the county's recycling rate.
Qualifying as a Work
Green Howard
business is a great opportunity for recognition in the
community. To become a certified
Work
Green Howard
business, all you
have to do is report your recycling!
Your help is priceless, and takes just a few minutes.
Report
Your Recycling
Reporting is quick, easy, and free.
Please report your recycling tonnage using the interactive
form that best suits your business. The forms have been tailored for:
- Business programs that primarily recycle paper, cans, bottles and cardboard in one container (single stream),
- More complex business programs that recycle many material types (single stream and/or electronics, pallets, scrap metal, textiles, white goods,etc.),
- Businesses that primarily target organic materials (food scraps, woodwaste, animal manure, etc.)
For a complete paper version of the report, please contact
Kimberly Reichart at (410) 313-6442 or kreichart@howardcountymd.gov.
Howard County is currently targeting a 60% recycling rate by
2020, as required by Maryland law. Reporting is a fundamental step in this
process. Help us achieve our goal and report your recycling today!
