Prince George's County announces July 4 holiday closures and trash schedule changes
Friday’s county holiday will shut permit offices and most transit, and pause bulky trash pickup. Brown Station Road and Missouri Avenue disposal sites will stay open.
Bulky trash pickup will pause for the July 4 weekend in Prince George’s County, while county offices, permit counters and most transit will shut down for the observed holiday Friday, July 3.
County Executive Aisha N. Braveboy’s Executive Order No. 45-2025 set Friday, July 3, as the county’s Independence Day holiday for employees, even though Independence Day falls on Saturday, July 4. The Department of the Environment will close all of its offices, services and facilities on Saturday, July 4, and all county offices will be closed for Independence Day except public safety agencies. The Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement will also be closed Friday, July 3.
Disposal sites are handling the holiday differently. The Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill, the Brown Station Road Public Convenience Center, the Missouri Avenue Solid Waste Acceptance and Recycling Center and the Prince George’s County Materials Recycling Facility will stay open. The Animal Services Facility and the Organics Composting Facility will be closed. Electronics recycling and household hazardous waste are no longer accepted at the landfill itself; those items now go through the Brown Station Road Convenience Drop-off Center or mobile events.
Transit riders will also see a split schedule. TheBus will operate Friday, July 3, but Route P78 will not run because the courthouse is closed. Fixed-route transit, Call-A-Bus and PGC Link microtransit, including dialysis transportation, will not operate July 3 or July 4 and will resume Monday, July 6. Regular Sunday service will return Sunday, July 5.
The county’s updated holiday waste collection schedule took effect July 1, 2024. Curbside bulky trash, regular trash, recycling, food scraps and yard trim are not collected on listed holidays unless otherwise specified. Prince George’s County residential collection programs serve more than 180,000 residents, according to the county’s updated holiday waste collection schedule.
