More than 4 billion beverage containers are sold in Maryland each year, but only 22% are recycled for reuse as next-generation products. The remainder wind up in Maryland’s landfills and litter the state’s communities, waterways, parks and roadways.

Recycle For Real™ is a Maryland initiative that brings together industry and environmental communities to advance environmental progress without imposing new taxes. Learn why you should support the addition of a refundable beverage container deposit on aluminum, glass and plastic that complements curbside recovery efforts.
