FY2025 Adopted Budget Capital Improvement Program

Solid Waste

The Solid Waste CIP projects are funded from a self-supporting enterprise fund. In addition, the Division of Solid Waste & Recycling is able to issue Enterprise Bonds for large projects. Both revenue sources are the result of user fees and tipping fees paid by the public. Frederick County has only one publicly owned and operated solid waste disposal facility, which is located on Reich’s Ford Road.
