On Monday, December 1, 2008, the County Council unanimously approved a Ten Year Solid Waste Management Plan for Baltimore County. The Plan is subject to review and approval by the Maryland Department of the Environment.
A lengthy and extensive public participation process (including a telephone survey in 2006 of 223 County residents, four public discussion meetings around the County, and a public hearing) preceded the submission of the Ten Year Solid Waste Management Plan to the County Council. The record of this public participation process is available for review. For more information, please contact the Bureau of Solid Waste Management in writing, 111 W. Chesapeake Avenue, Room 225, Towson, MD 21204 (attention: Tim Dunn).
