Go Behind the Solid Waste Scenes

Course schedule and topic outline

From curbside collections, code enforcement, and customer service contacts to accounting, outreach, facility management and more, it's all part of a day's work in the Montgomery County Division of Solid Waste Services.

Learn from our staff, tour our facilities, and meet fellow residents in our popular, free 6-week "Behind the Scenes" course. Then, apply your knowledge to recycle your maximum amount and to help Montgomery County meet its goal of recycling 50%.

Behind the Scenes received a 2003 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties in the Civic Education and Public Information category.

For more information, contact us or call 240-777-6461.
