The Agency Recycling Coordinator • The agency recycling coordinator should be responsible for tracking and reporting waste and recycling tonnages. • The agency recycling coordinator must be someone within the agency who has final authority for the collection of solid waste and recycling. • The agency recycling coordinator must have the authority to ensure that agency staff for each unit/office, complies with the law.

  4. The Recycling Contract • DGS has a State recycling contract in place that is available to all State agencies. Details are available at http://dgsweb.dgs.state.md.us/activeBPO/maintenance.html.
