Highlights of Executive Regulations 15-04AM and 18-04

Effective February 8, 2005, Executive Regulation 15-04AM supersedes existing Montgomery County Executive Regulation 109-92AM and addresses lessons learned over the last 12 years. These regulatory changes impact the owners and employees of businesses and property managers and recycling collection companies. More details on each of these changes are described in this brochure.

Executive Regulation 18-04 was adopted on February 8, 2005. This regulation complements ER15-04AM by clearly establishing new recycling-related roles and responsibilities for haulers, collectors, and all other persons using County solid waste acceptance facilities. It effectively bans the delivery of recyclables mixed in with waste delivered for disposal. In addition, ER18-04 includes new but practical requirements which will efficiently promote enforcement of ER15-04AM.
