Maryland’s 2024 Legislative Session: Trash & Litter Recap! A energetic and synergistic push for a “bottle bill.” The reasons our focus remains on Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging with implementation underway.

The latest data from the 2024 Dumpster Dive reaffirms the effectiveness of policy in our mission to tackle litter. We're seeing a steady decline in the presence of plastic bags and polystyrene pieces in Professor Trash Wheel's dumpster after bans went into effect!

Over 50 volunteers made a difference at the South Baltimore Brewery District Cleanup, collecting valuable data on plastic bags and plastic bottles using the Real Time Recall Method! The Data will be instrumental in passing Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging and Bring Your Own Bag Bills (plastic bag bans).

This Giving Tuesday, we would like to share a little more about our Trash Free Team! We are all united by a deep love of nature and a strong focus on Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (EPR), including plastic!

Happy Holidays from Trash Free Maryland, here is a recap of this year, what we are grateful for, and our trash free resolutions!
