Prince George's County, Maryland’s Post

This past week, our County Executive, Angela Alsobrooks, along with the Department of Public Works and Transportation, announced the launch of the first-ever countywide Residential Street Sweeping Program. This program will begin on Tuesday, September 3rd. A special thank you to Ruby Stemmle, CEO of ecoLatinos for her remarks on behalf of our Latino community and for reaffirming our commitment to care for our Madre Tierra. These street sweepers are designed to pick up litter and toxins with regenerative air cleaners that remove pollutants from curbs, streets, and drains in our neighborhoods. This new program will not only improve the cleanliness of our streets but will also have a positive impact on our homes, the air we breathe, and our rivers and streams by reducing the amount of roadside waste that is tracked inside homes. The program will be implemented in two phases: the first phase will focus on the western region of the county, and the second will begin in Spring 2025. Many of our larger Latino communities are located in the western part of the county and will be among the first communities to benefit from this amazing program! Residents should enter their address to see their street sweeping schedule and know when street-parked vehicles need to be moved. Get prepared and find more details and updates at: mypgc.us/sweep.
