Shane Moore, chief roads engineer with the Department of Public Works, told the council the county’s 2025–2036 Solid Waste Plan update is in progress and that a public hearing will be scheduled as part of the update.
Moore said final adoption of the plan is planned for May 1 and encouraged towns to include disposal at the Mid Shore landfill in their solid-waste contracts. He noted Caroline County is positioned to host the regional landfill through 2042. The department offered to review town contracts to help incorporate the recommended disposal arrangements.
