Please be aware that Montgomery County has instituted regulations which require
that recyclables and trash be separated before collection. Enforcement of Executive
Regulation 18-04, Collection, Transport and Disposal of Solid Waste will begin
February 8, 2006. The Town of Kensington is required to notify customers that
commingle trash and recyclables by mail of the Town's observations. The Town
is also required to notify the County at the same time. Fines from the County
can be assessed against violators of the regulation beginning February 8, 2006.
We have included information on what is recyclable and our recycling collection
services for your convenience (Recycling
Flyer
). Additional information and the complete new regulations can be found on Montgomery
County's web site, montgomerycountymd.gov
(off-site) . Click on Services, then select Services starting with R and
then recycling. If you have any questions please contact Mike Wojton, Public
Works Director at 301-949-2424 between the hours of 7 am to 3 pm or email
him. Nonresidential generators of trash and recyclables have been directly
contacted by Montgomery Co.
