Self-Service Kiosk at Appeal Landfill

The Calvert County Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Division has implemented a self-service kiosk at Appeal Landfill. This new feature aims to streamline operations for Calvert County residents and visitors, reduce wait times and enhance the customer experience at the landfill.

With the new system, Calvert County residents will use an interactive touch-screen kiosk upon arrival and follow a step-by-step process:

1. Check-in: Upon arrival, scan your driver’s license and select the material you are disposing of using the interactive screen.
2. Receive a QR ticket: The system will generate a ticket with a unique QR code and hold number.
3. Inbound scale: Proceed to the inbound scale with a ticket from the kiosk. At the scale, your vehicle’s weight is automatically recorded. A scale clerk will confirm the load type, direct you to the proper dumping area and open the gate arm.
4. Dispose of materials: After being directed, proceed to dump your materials.
5. Outbound scale and payment: Unless directed otherwise at the scale house, return to the outbound scale, where the system finalizes your billing. Customers must scan their QR code to confirm their transaction and amount due.

All customers have the option to pay by cash, check or use the outbound unattended payment system equipped with chip readers or tap-to-pay for credit and debit card transactions. This upgraded system is designed to create a more efficient and secure process for managing waste disposal while reducing congestion and wait times at the landfill.
