Oyster Shell Recycling Drop-Off Sites in Annapolis

Did you have oysters for lunch or dinner? If you threw your shells away, dig through the trash to find them so they can be recycled!

A recycled oyster shell can return 10 new oysters back into the Chesapeake Bay, according to a tip from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
