Frederick County Division of Solid Waste and Recycling

Frederick County Division of Solid Waste and Recycling on Reichs Ford Road is the county recycling center most locals use when curbside won’t do. Neighbors bring household recyclables-think paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals-and many county centers also handle electronics or other special drop-offs on certain days.

Drive in past an entrance lane where there’s usually a small booth and a scale; loads are often weighed and charged by weight, so expect to stop more than once. The site is an open yard with large roll-off containers and labeled bins, and recycling piles tend to be on the right just past the entrance area. Vehicles pull up to concrete pads or containers to unload, so be ready to climb up a bit to reach some bins. Weekends, especially spring cleanup times, get backed up-lines can stretch onto the access road.
