WHITE MARSH, MD—A community input meeting will be held later this month to discuss a proposed new organic recycling facility in White Marsh.

The meeting will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at the Perry Hall Library.

In March, the White Marsh-Cowenton Community Association reported that PEH Organics Recycling, Inc., the new owners of the property located at 11235-11239 Philadelphia Road (formerly Vince’s Auto), are planning to operate it as an “Organic Recycling Facility.”

PEH Organics has applied for a General Composting Permit through The Maryland Department of the Environment to operate an organic composting facility. This application has been granted by MDE, however local permits and approvals are still pending Baltimore County review.

The composting method will be processed “inside an enclosed building with aerated static pile processing technology.”

With the Eastern Sanitary Landfill and Honeygo Reclamation Center both nearby, neighbors wonder what effect yet another waste processing facility will have on the local community.

Additional information about the community meeting can be found at the event’s Facebook page here.

The Perry Hall Library is located at 9685 Honeygo Boulevard in Perry Hall (21128).
