Attendants are not available to assist with loading the mulch and compost; residents are asked to bring their own containers and shovels to load the material themselves.

Located at the CAF, the single stream recycling Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) receives, sorts and prepares recyclable materials (a mixture of paper, plastic and metal items) for marketing. By marketing the recyclables, the County is able to retain the value of these materials and maximize the financial benefits of its single stream recycling program. You have a direct impact on the County’s success—the more you recycle, the more money the County will earn. Workers are stationed along the conveyor belts to screen out material missed by the sorting equipment, which includes 86 conveyor belts, six sorting screens, three optical sorters and two balers. Watch a video to learn more about the facility.

Tours Available

Baltimore County offers free public tours of its single stream MRF for groups of 10 to 30 people. For safety reasons, tours are restricted to fourth grade students and above. The tours can be scheduled Monday through Friday, with a start time between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The tour itself lasts approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Because of the group size requirements, preregistration is required for all tours.
