MDE_Recycle Trash Tonnage Report_TEMPLATE.xlsx

This document is a template for a 2025 Recycling and Trash Tonnage Report issued by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). The report is designed to be completed by state and local government agencies to track and document their waste management activities.

The report template requires agencies to record detailed information about their waste collection operations, including location identification, site addresses, container types and sizes, pickup frequencies, and annual tonnage data for both trash and recycled materials. Data fields include location name, unique identifier, street address, city, state, zip code, container specifications, pickup frequency, and separate columns for trash tonnage per year and recyclable material tonnage per year. This standardized format enables the MDE to collect comprehensive waste management metrics across multiple jurisdictions and facilities for environmental monitoring, regulatory compliance, and operational analysis purposes.
