New Clear The Curb Waste Collection Service Begins For Prince George's Residents

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Starting July 1, the county's new Clear the Curb waste collection services starts for residents receiving county-contracted trash and recycling pickup, and residents receiving recycling only collection.

The new services increase the number of acceptable curbside bulky trash items from two to four and introduces a monthly curbside scrap metal and electronics recycling pickup. These enhanced services will continue modernizing and streamlining the county's current residential collection services, officials said.

Residents now can place up to four curbside bulky items or four tightly secured bags with small household items next to their trash cart for pickup.

The new curbside scrap metal and electronics recycling collection will be offered every third Monday of the month, by appointment only. The first day of service begins July 15 and must be scheduled through PGC311 online or by phone. Scrap tires, white goods and other appliances will continue to be scheduled for pickup through PGC311.
