The County Executive has proposed closing the Resource Recovery Facility incinerator in Dickerson and trucking solid waste to an out-of-county landfill while planning a modern facility with advanced waste management technology. The County is soliciting public input on the change, which could affect solid waste fees, environmental justice, and greenhouse gas emissions. Residents can share feedback via the Montgomery County Solid Waste Planning Survey.
