The Division of Highway Services has completed the special, one-time only, storm tree debris collection from County-maintained roads.  Crews drove the County’s 217 snow plow routes and collected debris within the County right-of-way resulting from the destructive Derecho storm that occurred on June 29th.

Residents may still continue to bundle their debris and use County-provided trash and yard trim curbside collection, or drop off disposables at the Transfer Station.  For information on preparing tree limbs, branches and other yard trim for collection, visit: the Department of Environmental Services’ website.

It is illegal for contractors hired by residents to place tree branches and limbs in County or State right-of-ways. Residents should ensure that their arrangements with contractors include removal and proper disposal of the materials.

For additional information, check the 311 Call Center’s website or call 311, or 240-777-0311 from outside the County (TTY, call 301-251-4850), Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Residents with questions about State roads or State road right-of-ways may contact the State Highway Administration’s website.
