Waste and Recycling at UMB
At UMB, we employ a dual-stream recycling program with receptacles in offices, departments, kitchens, and lab and common areas. Bins designated for paper can take mixed paper and cardboard, including milk cartons and other food containers. Nonpaper bins take all forms of plastic, mixed glass, aluminum, and steel/tin containers.
Waste and Recycling in Baltimore City
Baltimore City is currently conducting a master planning effort to identify options for improving solid waste diversion, recycling, and disposal in the City. The City is committed to developing a master plan (the "Less Waste, Better Baltimore" plan) that outlines a clear and realistic future vision for improving the City’s solid waste recycling program and operations, over both the near- and long-term, with the goal of maximizing waste reduction, reuse/repair, recycling, and sustainable management of materials.
