The Frederick County Landfill has been serving the community for over 70 years and plays a crucial role in waste management and emergency management plans. While most of the county's waste is transferred, the landfill site remains open and continues to be an integral part of Frederick County's waste management system. The landfill features a capped construction and debris cell that serves as the base for the yard waste drop-off and compost program, as well as solar panels that offset electricity usage in county libraries, the scale house, and electric buses used by Frederick County Transit.
At the Frederick County Landfill, visitors can navigate the scale house to have their vehicles and trailers weighed upon entry. The facility accepts waste generated within Frederick County only, and proof of provenance is required for those with addresses outside the county. Once inside the transfer station, visitors must follow instructions, watch for other vehicles and heavy equipment, and ensure that pets and children are properly secured in their vehicles. The landfill also provides important contact information for administration, billing, recycling, and the scale house, as well as a list of current tipping rates and accepted materials.
