JawandoSep 16, 2026
The Montgomery County Council held a worksession on September 15, 2026, reviewing long-term waste disposal options: continuing to operate the Resource Recovery Facility in Dickerson, trucking waste to out-of-state landfills, or investing in advanced waste processing. No decision date has been set. Residents near the Shady Grove Transfer Station have raised concerns about traffic, road safety, and pollution implications of the trucking option.
