Earth Day is today (April 22). Our mission here at MRN is to promote the sustainable reduction, reuse and recycling in Maryland. We do this through
educational programs and events (webinars, tours, annual conference, etc) and
advocacy working with legislators on responsible and effective recycling legislation.
Learn more about who we are and what we're doing here.
And check out these great resources and ideas on how you can celebrate in 2024 and beyond:
In a nod to Earth Day, we're celebrating the passage of The Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Bill (HB0468 / SB0532)! The bill creates a commission to advance lithium-ion battery safety in MD, and MRN will be right there as part of the commission representing the recycling and solid waste communities. A special TX to Legislative Chair Chaz Miller and MRN President Kitty McIlroy for their awesome in-person testimonies! And to the full Legislative Committee for all your hard work!
Visit Legislative & Regulatory for more information and updates.

Still time to register for this month's free webinar: Join us this Thursday, 4/25, as Elizabeth Schussler and Lydia Keenan of The Recycling Partnership’s Center for Sustainable Behavior & Impact take us through the everyday dynamics of household recycling including how recyclable materials flow through the house, how this flow affects the action to recycle, and whether the “twin the bin” the answer.
