DPW&T would like to thank all the volunteers and supporters who made the Fall 2022 Growing Green with Pride clean-up event a great success. We had a total of 4,966 participants, with 124 sites and 49 communities served. There was also a reported amount of 36,820 pounds of litter collected. DPW&T is truly Prince George's Proud to see such a tremendous turn out! We could not have done it without you.
As we closed out the Growing Green with Pride event DPW&T crews continue to combat litter with the County-wide Litter and Mowing Blitz initiative. DPW&T's Director Johnson, Deputy Director Olugbenle, Associate Director Boyd, and Public Information Officer Jones share how you can help us combat litter in the video below.

DPW&T's Director Johnson, Associate Directors' and staff joined County Executive Angela Alsobrooks at the Camp Springs Civic Association Meeting this month. Director Johnson shed light on the hard-working crews who are out in the fields executing the most aggressive Litter and Mowing Blitz the County has ever held. We also addressed illegal dumping, resurfacing and County Right Of Way questions to close out the night.
DPW&T joined County Executive Angela Alsobrooks at her last Proud Tour Meeting for the Fall season with the Ardmore-Springdale Civic Association, held at Charles Herbert Flowers High School on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. Our staff spoke with many high school students and civic association members about DPW&T services that make a difference in the County, and provided informational pamphlets along with free giveaways.
Snow and Ice Dry Run
 DPW&T conducted a Snow and Ice Dry Run exercise on Friday, October 28, 2022,
The Dry Run provides an opportunity for inclement weather emergency procedures to be tested before the winter weather arrives. In the previous winter season, DPW&T staff mobilized for eight (8) snow and ice events, during what was termed by weather forecasters as an active snow season. This winter weather season, DPW&T will continue to work to ensure that our roadways are cleared and safe for motorists in Prince George’s County and enhance all communications with residents.
