What it takes
It’s the only place in Frederick County that takes appliances, used motor oil, and some batteries. The Reichs Ford Road Landfill and Transfer Station takes tires, mattresses, electronics, and construction debris.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Frederick County rules
- Only waste from inside Frederick County is accepted, even from county residents. Show your driver’s license; if it doesn’t have a Frederick County address, bring a utility bill or invoice showing where the waste came from.
- Use the Recycle Road entrance, just before the main entrance, for the free recycling drop-off. Anything that needs a license check or a fee goes through the main entrance and the scale house.
- Cover or tie down every load; an unsecured load can bring a $100 fine. The site takes no liquids of any kind.
