Our Mission: The Maryland Recycling Network
"MRC's mission is to promote sustainable reduction, reuse and
recycling (the 3 "R's") of materials otherwise destined for disposal
and promote and increase buying products made with recycled material content.
MRC seeks to accomplish this mission through a combination of education
programs, advocacy activities to affect public policy, technical assistance
efforts, and the development of markets to purchase recycled materials and
manufacture products with recycled content."

MRN Sponsors America Recycles Day Sculpture Contest
- November 15
ARD is a national event (November 15th) that promotes recycling,
source reduction and buying products made from recycled materials
as objectives to a more sustainable society. In celebration
of ARD, MDE has created the “Rethink Recycling” sculpture
contest and judging ceremony to display students’ creativity
and promote recycling. The sculpture contest and judging ceremony
is a great opportunity for celebrating efforts of the student
artists, for media exposure and for promoting waste prevention
to the general public. The sculpture contest challenges students
to innovatively and artistically use recycled materials as
a solution to waste reduction. For more information, contact
MDE.
October 2008
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included
a two year extension of the production tax credit
for WTE and LFG as well as other renewable sources
of energy. The placed in service date is now December 31,
2010. As part of this law, the credit facilities can receive
is not capped at thirty-five percent of the capitol cost of
the facility, an important victory for LFG operations.
Another important provision of the tax extenders legislation
is that it includes Recycling Investment Saves Energy
(RISE). This provision allows for accelerated depreciation
of recycling property. Fifty percent of the initial
investment in the recycling equipment qualifies for accelerated
depreciation. H.R. 1424 updates the definition of trash combustion
facility. The language has been altered slightly to broaden
the scope of facilities that qualify. This $17 billion tax
credit is offset by revenue from taxes on the oil and natural
gas industries. The bill does not include a Renewable Portfolio
Standard.
