Snow Hill, Maryland (August 10, 2023) – The Worcester County Commissioners named Robert Keenan as the new recycling manager in the Solid Waste Division of Public Works.
“Bob is a great guy who is always willing to help and goes above and beyond when taking on a project,” Public Works Director Dallas Baker said. “His energy and enthusiasm make him a great fit to lead the recycling team in Worcester County.”
Keenan, who previously served as the recycling crew leader, brings over 35 years of solid waste experience to his new position. Following a 30-year career with the Baltimore Bureau of Solid Waste, where he served as the assistant superintendent, he relocated to the Eastern Shore and joined Worcester County Public Works in 2018.
“I am grateful that the commissioners have given me the honor of serving the residents of Worcester County,” Keenan said. “My goal is to educate each and every resident on what and how to recycle.”
Keenan is responsible for planning, coordinating, and managing all Worcester County recycling projects and programs to meet state mandated goals and to educate the public about the benefits of recycling.
Keenan resides with his wife, Wendy, and their cat, Salem, in Ocean View. They have three adult children. During his time off, he can be found at the beach or The River Church in Roxana.
