Highly recommend a visit to a landfill to realize in 3D and with all your senses the impact of our daily waste generation. The kind and professional personnel of this facility share valuable insights about the process and answered all questions from visitors of all ages. Grateful to them and to the Sierra Club Maryland for inviting us to this tour. I’m not giving them a 5 star, because I strive for zero waste. Yet, let me recognize that this landfill is one of the best ones I’ve seen and that it’s light-years ahead of open dumps that still exist worldwide.

Starting my empty nest phase and had to get rid of a few things. It was a new and professionally handled experience. The swarm of various (I may have seen an eagle) birds were a sight to see)

We have been more than a dozen times now. Any private vehicle does not get charged. We have come in with things strapped to the top of our hatchback and we were able to go in uncharged. Also super nice is on Saturdays they have a special line for private vehicles (cars, SUVs, and minivans) so we don't have to wait for all the trucks that have to be weighed. We have done a truck once and it is pretty painless too. Get weighed, dump, and reweigh. Make sure you bring cash for this! As far as dumping, this is what we have figured out. Lot 2 is for hazardous waste/electronics - only open Thurs, Fri, and Sat (maybe Wed too but I can't remember). Lot 4 is for metal recyclables (including appliances) and yard waste. And lot 5 is for other stuff - they will direct you to which bin to put your waste in depending on what you have. Everyone is super helpful as long as you do what they tell you to. They will even sometimes help you unload.
