DON’T DUMP, DONATE PROGRAM

Recycle usable construction materials for use in low-income housing

Montgomery County has a program to recycle usable construction materials for use in low-income housing. If you have any reusable construction materials, you may take them to the Shady Grove side of the Transfer Station at:

16101 Frederick Road in Derwood

Open between 7:30 am and 5 pm Monday through Saturday.

WATER BASED PAINT DISPOSAL

Tens-of-thousands of tax-dollars are spent each year disposing of latex paint, which is not hazardous. In fact, latex paint can be safely dried out and put out for regular refuse collections. Simply remove the lid and place it in a safe, well-ventilated area. Cans that are one-fourth or less full will dry in a few days. For cans with greater volume, add mulch, cat litter, shredded paper, or waste paint hardener available at area hardware stores. For more information, call 240-777-6410.
