The Frederick County Public Works Department operates a state-of-the-art Subtitle D sanitary landfill.

Carbon credits may be issued through the Verified Carbon Standard project 833 for the greenhouse gas emission reductions or removals associated with the County of Frederick Public Works Department's landfill waste management services.

Find the landfill on a map with the Government Services application.  Some types of waste are only accepted at certain times, at certain locations, or under certain conditions.  Check the Household Hazardous Waste page for more information.
