The Dorchester County Department of Public Works manages the solid waste disposal in Dorchester County, Maryland, through the operation of the New Beulah Sanitary Landfill and three other closed landfill sites. The department is responsible for implementing the County Solid Waste Management Plan, which includes the design and permitting process for reclaiming the Old Beulah landfill site and providing recycling drop-off centers for residential use.
The New Beulah Sanitary Landfill, located north of Hurlock, is permitted by the Maryland Department of the Environment and accepts various types of waste, including trash, recycling, waste oil, metals, tires, and wood materials. The landfill also conducts semi-annual ground water monitoring and gas monitoring to comply with state regulations. In addition to waste disposal, the department operates convenience centers at select sites to reduce trash vehicle traffic and offers recycling services for glass, aluminum, plastic, newspaper, magazines, and cardboard.
