Yard Trim Collection
Due to staffing issues with county contractors, yard trim collection is ongoing but behind schedule. If your yard trim was not picked up on your regular collection day, please leave materials curbside so that we can collect during the week. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. For questions or concerns call 311 (240-777-0311) and press 3 to get directed to Trash & Recycling.
