When is Your Trash Getting Picked Up in Prince George's County This Thanksgiving Weekend?

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to be with your family and relax, but all that trash starts to pile up and no one wants it sitting around for a long time. Thanksgiving creates interesting schedule challenges for local government, and your area will likely have its own unique refuse collection schedule.

So when exactly are garbage collectors going to pick up your trash? Unfortunately for Prince George's County residents, you're going to have to wait in some cases. There will be no collection of any type of trash on Thursday, Nov. 24, and trash collection won't happen until Monday for some types of refuse.

If you have trash collection in county-contracted areas, regularly scheduled collections will resume on Friday, Nov. 25. That also applies for curbside recycling collection.

If you need bulky trash collection, which is by appointment only, or county yard waste collection, no collection will happen until Monday, Nov. 28.
