Funded through Charles County's annual environmental service fee, our residential recycling program consists of four transfer stations and seven oil & antifreeze drop-off centers. In addition to these facilities, curbside collection is provided to approximately 30,000 homes located in the more densely populated areas of the county. State mandated to recycle 15% of its waste stream, Charles County has achieved a 43% recycling rate and a 5% source reduction credit equaling a total waste reduction rate of 48%.

The St. Mary’s County Recycling Program was established in 1992 to collect and recycle plastic, glass bottles, tin / steel / and aluminum cans at no charge to the residents. Commercial haulers may also bring recyclables to the convenience centers at no charge. Since that time the program has been expanded to also accept; newspapers, magazines, cardboard, mixed paper, used oil, oil filters, anti-freeze, household appliances, scrap metal, clothing and textiles, used cooking oil, electronics, scrap tires, yard waste and propane cylinders, . Over 750,000 visits are made to our convenience centers every year. The County is required under the Maryland Recycling Act to meet a State mandated 15% recycling goal, and in 2004, achieved 23%, with an overall diversion rate of 24%.
