The Frederick County Landfill has served the community in one shape or form for over 70 years! 

While 95% of the county's waste is transferred, The Frederick County Landfill "Site B" is still an "open" sanitary landfill that will continue to be an integral part of Frederick County's waste management, as well as various emergency management plans, well into the future. 


Site A is "capped" (no longer being filled) as part of a long-term management plan and features solar panels that offset the electricity usage of three county libraries, our scale house, and the electric buses used by Frederick County Transit. The capped construction and debris cell at site A is the base for the yard waste drop-off and compost program.
