Garrett County Swap Shop

The Solid Waste and Recycling Division, General Services Department, is proud to participate in the Garrett County Swap Shop program.

During business hours, residents are encouraged to visit the refuse & recycling sites (including the landfill) to browse for items left.  “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” someone once said.  And frequently, items of interest are left in good condition, for others.  This practice reduces the amount of waste going into the landfill.

From January 1 – December 31, 2007, the sites swapped approximately 44.82 tons of materials.  Diverting materials from the landfill is very important, and the swap shop is a big part of our source reduction efforts. 

Source reduction is the design, manufacture, purchase, or use of materials or products to reduce the amount of waste generated. It includes reuse, waste elimination, package reduction and substitution. Examples would include using rags instead of paper towels, packing lunches in reusable containers, buying in bulk, buying products with less packaging, composting, and donating usable items to those in need.

Source reduction preempts the need to collect, process and/or dispose which results in lower costs, less traffic congestion, and less air pollution.

The swap shop is available at the Landfill and six refuse and recycling sites.

Residents are encouraged to participate in the program by leaving items in good condition for others or by taking items for oneself.

Garrett County provides no guarantees or warranties (written, expressed or implied) and disclaims any and all liability for the condition, working order and/or safety of any item left at or taken from the Garrett County Swap Shop.  All items are “as is” and are taken at the recipient’s own risk.  Recipients are responsible for determining the safety and suitability of any item for any purpose and/or use thereof.

A resident permit is not required to enter the landfill or refuse and recycling sites to recycle; and, is FREE to residents, businesses and anyone visiting the area.

If you have any questions or comments with regard to the free recycling program, please call the office at 301-387-0322.
