<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>In 2018, compostable materials such as food scraps and yard trimmings make up nearly 34% of all municipal solid waste generated in the U.S. Instead of disposing of this material in landfills and incinerators, composting uses organic material to create a valuable product with environmental and economic benefits, including greenhouse gas emissions reductions and green jobs.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Recycling of some organic materials, such as yard trimmings and manure, is widespread in Maryland. One area of growing interest is food scraps diversion. Though only an estimated 15.5% of food scraps was recycled in Maryland in 2019, much of the remaining material could be prevented, used to feed humans or animals, or composted. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This map service shows the location of the two non-permitted compost facilities in Maryland. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
