Statewide rules
- A $1 fee on each new tire sold in Maryland pays into the state's Used Tire Cleanup and Recycling Fund, which licenses the businesses that haul and recycle scrap tires and pays to clean up tire piles. Your county's center may take a few tires from residents.
- Every company that sells computers, laptops, monitors, or TVs with screens over 4 inches in Maryland registers with the state each year, and many of them take their own brand back for free, by mail or at a drop-off. MDE lists them, and most counties take electronics too.
- Paint makers have to run a statewide program that takes back leftover house paint, paid for by a fee added to each can sold in Maryland. The program has to put a drop-off within 15 miles of at least 90 percent of Marylanders.
- Maryland doesn't regulate household hazardous waste as hazardous waste, but the state asks you to take paint thinner, pesticides, pool chemicals, and the like to your county's program instead of the trash or a drain. Some counties take it year-round, others hold collection days. Each county's page here says where its hazardous waste goes.
