Waste Management Plan Hearing In Baltimore County

TOWSON, MD - From The Baltimore County Department of Public Works: The Baltimore County Department of Public Works (DPW) is developing a new Ten Year Solid Waste Management Plan (Plan) to cover the 2019–2028 period. As part of the Plan development process, the DPW is holding a public hearing on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to review the full draft Plan and solicit community feedback.

The hearing will take place in the Council Chambers of the Baltimore County Historic Courthouse, located at 400 Washington Avenue in Towson. Attendees must use the Chesapeake Avenue entrance on the south side of the Historic Courthouse building.

In the event of inclement weather, residents should check the status of the Baltimore County Public Library’s Towson branch – if that branch is closed the evening of March 21, the public hearing will be postponed until Wednesday, March 28 at the Council Chambers of the Baltimore County Historic Courthouse.

A public information session, presented by representatives of Baltimore County’s DPW, will precede the formal hearing. Copies of the draft Plan are available on the County’s website at baltimorecountymd.gov/solidwasteplan, in the office of the Bureau of Solid Waste Management at 111 West Chesapeake Avenue, Towson, Maryland 21204 (County Office Building), and at every branch of the Baltimore County Public Library system.

In addition to the public hearing, people may submit written comments on the draft Plan to Steven A. Walsh, P.E., Director, Department of Public Works, 111 West Chesapeake Avenue, Towson, MD 21204. Comments must be received within 35 days of the public hearing.
