WOODY YARD WASTE REQUIREMENTS WAIVED THROUGH AUGUST 15, 2022

Department of Public Works crews continue work to clean up debris caused by the July 12, 2022 severe weather event. 

Due to the excessive amount of woody debris created by the storm, the requirements to prepare debris for curbside collection are being expanded for large diameter branches & limbs, which should be cut into lengths 8 feet or less. Place material at the curb, not in the street and set away from poles, wires, trees, fire hydrants and vehicles for easier collection. 

The revised requirement for collection of woody material will be effective until August 15, 2022.  

Contact the Department of Public Works (publicworks@collegeparkmd.gov or call 240-487-3590) to request a pick-up. Please inform the Department what size material needs to be collected, as this will dictate the equipment sent to perform the collection. 

NEW TREE PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS AND WAIVER FOR 7.12.2022 STORM RELATED DAMAGE
