accordance with the requirements of CPSC. Paper wrapped snappers
containing less than 3/100 grains of explosive composition, and

County Urges Residents to Sign-up for CodeRED
PRINCE FREDERICK, MD—The
Calvert County Division of Emergency
Management uses CodeRED, an
emergency telephone notification system, to
contact County residents
in the event of an emergency situation. This system
allows hundreds of
telephones per minute, to be called with a recorded
message that
provides vital information. When an emergency arises, those
impacted
by the event are called using identified lists such as residents
around
Calvert Cliffs or Cove Point, geographical areas such as
residents on a
particular road or a radius for events such as missing
persons. CodeRED has
been used to inform and update residents about power
outages, missing
persons, weather information, water and sewer
service disruption, and gas line
breaks.
TO SIGN UP-
Go to the County’s homepage, www.co.cal.md.us,
and click on the
CodeRED Residential Data Collection Registration Form
link.
You can also call the Emergency Management Office at 410-535-1600
x2638 to register.
Emergency Management personnel also
participate in many public
awareness events to promote CodeRED and
register citizens.
In order to successfully reach residents during power
outages, it is
recommended that you have at least one plug-in,
non-portable phone in
your home. Emergency Management staff use
CodeRED to provide
updates and broadcast emergency information such as
warming center
locations and shelter activations. Emergency Management
staff
recommends that all citizens register cell phone numbers as well
as
home and work numbers to ensure they are notified of an incident
even
if they are not at home.
For more information, please contact Bob Fenwick,
Emergency Management and Safety Division Chief at 410-535-1600
Ext. 2301 or Sandy Simmons, Emergency Management Specialist

Calvert
County Recycles -
if
you live in Calvert County, the following items can be recycled
|
| Recycling
Recycling is a very important part of the
Calvert County waste management program. While many people still don't
recycle, the benefits should be reviewed:
- conserves natural resources;
consider that if we didn't recycle newspaper we would have to cut
more trees to produce new newspapers,
- conserves landfill space; landfills
would fill up proportionately to the amount of materials we don't
recycle - if we didn't recycle anything, most landfills would be
full 10-30% faster than had we all recycled,
- saves us money; yes, actually it
does - a new landfill costs millions of dollars to develop and build
- money that could better be spent on schools, roads, and public
safety
- it makes cents - yes - more people
are employed with recycling businesses and many people sell
recyclable materials.
So, if
you live in Calvert County, the following items can be recycled:
- Glass: Clear, brown, green,
yellow, red or blue drinking, food, and beverage bottles. If it
didn't have food or beverage it, it probably can't be recycled.
Don't take the labels off, but please remove the
lids. Rinse out the
container and recycle. We can't accept plate glass,
light bulbs,
mirrors, dishes, pottery, ceramics, windshields or other non-food
containers.
- Cans: All food
and beverage cans, steel, tin, empty paint, aerosol or aluminum can
be recycled. Rinse them out and flatten if you can. And don't worry
about the labels either.
- Plastic: All plastic
food containers and bottles with #'s 1 thru 7. Please rinse out and
flatten (for space). We don't accept plastic toys, dolls, plastic
wrap, large buckets; pans or pails, or plastic bags. Plastic bags
can be returned to the store in which you received them to be
recycled.
- Single Stream Recycling:
We accept all dry and stacked NEWSPAPER, with or with out the Sunday
insert. Please DON’T include the plastic bag you may have stacked
the paper in. All MAGAZINES and all “slick” printed material,
sales, mail order catalogues and other high quality printed
catalogs. Every piece of MAIL you receive can be recycled. Any
SCHOOL PAPERS as well as some containers from your kitchen –
including pasta, cereal, and food boxes. You can also recycle
paperback and hardback books. TELEPHONE BOOKS are also acceptable.
Cardboard: corrugated, if it has interior ridges, waffles, or is
thick, it's corrugated and we love to recycle it. We are now
accepting Asian boxes too.
- Textiles/Clothes:
Any old clothing you have, with or without holes, buttons or zippers
can be recycled. While the good clothing is sorted out for resale,
the really bad stuff (please don't be shy) is then used for rags and
other products. Don't forget sheets, curtains, blankets, socks,
shoes, belts, cloth table cloths, napkins, shower curtains, towels,
or just about anything that's a fabric. Be sure that the items are
clean and dry. If you're unsure, please ask an attendant.
- Motor Oil: Motor Oil
Filters: Antifreeze: If you do your own oil changes, chances are
that you have a used filter so when you bring your oil to the
recycling center, bring along the filter too. Filters should be
drained and recycled in the marked container at all sites..
- Household Hazardous Waste:
This program is available to residents only -NO COMMERCIAL
HAULERS/BUSINESSES. Commercial businesses must make other
arrangements for disposal. County residents may drop off their HHW
at the Appeal Landfill for free. These products usually have the
words "DANGER, POISON OR WARNING" on the labels, and
should be kept out of the regular garbage. Some of these items found
around the house are; pesticides/insecticides, paint
thinners/removers, drain cleaner, gas or fuels, pool chemicals,
solvents, etc.
-
Ecycling: Computers,
monitors, printers keyboards, mouse, copiers, VCR's, DVD players,
two-way radios at the Mt. Hope, Huntingtown, Barstow, Ball road

Typical
Energy Costs for Household Appliance - This table
shows typical energy costs to run some
common household appliances and equipment, for typical
usage patterns and average energy costs
(about 8 cents per kWh for electricity and 60 cents per
therm for gas). Your actual costs may differ
substantially from these typical costs because of a
number of factors: the price you pay for energy,
the size of your appliances, the efficiency of your
appliances, how much you use them, and how
you use them.
Have
a great day and keep smiling!
