Prince George's County First Wave Litter and Mowing Blitz

The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) initiated the first wave of Prince George's County Litter and Mowing Blitz on Monday, September 19, 2022. The plan quadruples the cleaning and beautification efforts in the County by clearing litter and debris from collector and arterial roadways, enhancing mowing, and enhancing street sweeping. These landscape maintenance services are a part of a sustained cleanup strategy to improve the overall aesthetics and environmental cleanliness of Prince George’s County.

We need the community's help to keep trash and litter off our roadways. Please remember to report all litter and illegal dumping to PGC311.com

Replacement Storm Drain Project

DPW&T's Office of Storm Drain Maintenance (OSDM) crews received a request to repair a damaged storm drain located in the ditch line adjacent to Manor Gate Terrace. After further investigation, it was determined that the storm drain and the drainage had deteriorated below grade. The area was surveyed and both were elevated back to the appropriate grade.  Great work team!
