Landfill and Septage

Solid Waste Disposal Facilities

Cecil County operates three solid waste disposal facilities.  The Central Landfill Facility is located off of MD Route 7, approximately 11/2 miles east of North East.  Two smaller transfer facilities are located at Woodlawn, off Firetower Road in Colora, and Stemmer's Run on Stemmer Run Rd. near Earleville.  Any Cecil County resident with a valid Maryland Driver's License and Registration can use any of these facilities.  Commercial and industrial haulers can use the Central Landfill. No out of County refuse is accepted.

Cecil County also operates a Wastewater Facility at 123 Carpenter's Point Road in Charlestown for the disposal of septage.
