Montgomery County Recycling Regulations
- Montgomery County Executives Regulations (ER) 15-04AM requires all businesses to recycle, report their recycling progress, and meet specific program requirements.
- Executive Regulation 18-04 adopted February 8, 2005, complements ER15-04AM by clearly establishing new recycling-related roles and responsibilities for haulers, collectors and all other persons using County acceptance facilities. It effectively bans the delivery of recyclables mixed in with waste delivered for disposal.
