Recycling in Severn: A Local Guide
Severn is an unincorporated community in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and home to two of the county's most important solid waste and recycling facilities — both located at 389 Burns Crossing Road. The Anne Arundel County Central Recycling Center and the adjacent Millersville Landfill operate together under the Anne Arundel County Bureau of Waste Management, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
The Central Recycling Center accepts one of the broadest material sets of any facility in the county: paper, cardboard, glass, plastic bottles, metal cans, electronics (computers, laptops, phones, gaming consoles, cables), appliances, scrap metal, motor oil, cooking oil, antifreeze, propane tanks, tires (4 free per visit; $7.00 each additional), textiles, yard waste, rubble, and pallets. It is the only Anne Arundel County facility that accepts durable medical equipment. Free firewood, mulch, and pallets are available to residents while supplies last.
The Millersville Landfill handles household trash disposal for county residents and businesses at no charge, in addition to sharing much of the same recyclables drop-off infrastructure. Commercial vehicles are charged per the county fee schedule. Both facilities are open to Anne Arundel County residents and businesses only — a county driver's license and vehicle registration are required at entry. Children and pets must stay in vehicles.
Items not accepted at either facility — rechargeable batteries, TVs, gasoline, oil-based paints, and chemicals — must be taken to a county Household Hazardous Waste event. The county holds HHW events throughout the year; check the Anne Arundel County website for dates. Neighboring areas with additional drop-off options include Annapolis, Glen Burnie, and Odenton.
