Single-Stream Recycling - What Makes it Easy?

Call 311 from within Prince George's County; 301-883-4748 calls from outside the county. With single-stream recycling, all recyclable materials are placed in the same container. Singe-stream recycling provides county businesses with many benefits that include:

• Using compactors and bailers to consolidate recyclable materials
• Saving money on recycling and disposal fees
• Using only 1 container for commercial property owners' recyclables

Contact your recycling vendor and processor to determine what materials generated by your business can be collected single-stream.

If you don't already have one, establish a recycling program at your business or multi-tenant facility. Setting up a program is easy and we can help!
If you already have a recycling program, submit a copy of your Maryland Recycling Act (MRA) Recycling Tonnage Report to the Department of the Environment Recycling Section. Your recycling hauler may also submit the report on your behalf with your business/property name and address listed on the report.
