What it takes
It’s the only place in Frederick County that takes tires, mattresses, electronics, and construction debris. The Reichs Ford Road Recycling Drop-Off Center takes appliances, used motor oil, and some batteries.
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.
- Everything that crosses the scales costs at least $10; past that, it’s charged by weight in 20-pound steps. Trash is $83.26 a ton. Cash, check, money order, Apple Pay, and credit cards are taken.
- 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.
