Prince George's County announces Memorial Day closings for offices, services
County offices, PGC311 and TheBus will shut down for Memorial Day, and trash pickup will slide one day later in most contracted areas.
Memorial Day will shut down Prince George’s County offices, suspend PGC311, and halt county bus service, forcing residents to plan ahead for permits, service requests and transportation before the holiday weekend.
The county said all offices will be closed Monday, May 25, except public safety agencies. The Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement will also be closed, along with PGC311, which will not reopen until Tuesday, May 26, when regular operations resume from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. County Call-A-Bus and PGC Link, including dialysis transportation, will not operate on the holiday and will return Tuesday. TheBus will also be out of service Monday and resume the next day.
The shutdown will reach beyond offices and buses. County facilities listed as closed or suspended include the Animal Services Facility at 3750 Brown Station Road, the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill and Public Convenience Center, the Missouri Avenue Solid Waste Acceptance and Recycling Center, the Organics Composting Facility and the Materials Recycling Facility. In most county-contracted areas, curbside trash and recycling collections will move back one day, with regular pickups running Wednesday, May 27, through Saturday, May 30. Residential food scraps and yard trim collections will shift to Tuesday, May 26.
The holiday notice matters in a county of 970,374 people, where 15.9% of residents are 65 and older and 7.3% of people under 65 have a disability. Prince George’s County has 347,744 households, a median gross rent of $1,799, and 30.7% of residents speak a language other than English at home, all of which makes a one-day service shutdown something many families, tenants and workers have to work around carefully.
Prince George’s County Public Schools also lists Memorial Day, May 25, as a day when schools and offices are closed. The county’s holiday calendar makes clear that the interruption is not limited to one department but affects a broad slice of local government, from permits and transit to waste collection and public facilities. Regular county operations will be back Tuesday, May 26.
