Plan & Report Instructions for all Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Family Properties & Businesses

What is the difference between a Plan and an Annual Report? 

  • A Plan identifies the (a) Types of Designated Recyclable Materials to be Collected, (b) A Collection System for the designated recyclable materials (single-stream containers, etc.), and (c) How are you promoting your Recycling Program?
  • An Annual Report accounts for (a) The Amount of Designated Recyclable Materials Collected, (b) The Method of Collection (Single Stream, etc.), and (c) Disposal Method of Material (Name of Hauler Company).

The form for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-family Properties is both the Plan AND Annual Report.  Regardless of when your Plan was submitted during the year, you must submit the Annual Report as stated.

Annual Forms

The Resource Recovery Division is working towards discontinuing paper forms, but we understand that some users prefer a hard copy to complete.  If you require a paper document to complete by hand, please contact our office at recyclingplan@co.pg.md.us.

If you are a  Business Entity and recycling material OTHER THAN the designated recyclable materials, please contact our office at recyclingplan@co.pg.md.us.

***Commercial, Industrial, & Multi-family properties are required to submit, yearly, between January 1 – February 28, an Annual Report which accounts for the amount of designated recyclable materials collected for the previous year. 

Send an email and one of our representatives will contact you if you have difficulty identifying which applies to you.
