Business
Recycling
Recycling has
been around for many
years but it is just
now hitting its
stride as businesses
and the government
are looking for ways
to be
environmentally
sensitive in a
fiscally responsible
manner.
At the request of
Howard County
Executive Ken Ulman,
the Howard County
Chamber of Commerce
in conjunction with
individuals from the
business,
institutional and
educational
communities and the
Howard County
Government have
joined forces to
create sustainable
initiatives for the
non-residential
community.

Individual
Contracting
For larger
companies that have
significant
recycling needs it
may be more cost
effective to
contract
individually with a
waste disposal
company that also
handles recycling.
In many cases,
recycling can be a
cost-savings measure
over the cost of
solid waste
disposal. Check the
yellow pages or web
pages for recycling
collection.
