Litter and Dumping along County-maintained Roads (DPW&T)

The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) provides services for the removal of illegal dumping and litter along County-maintained roads. 

Roads with a number (e.g., MD 210/Piscataway Highway, US 50, I-495) are handled and must be reported to the Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA).

Litter and Mowing Blitz (DPW&T)

In addition to clearing litter and debris, DPW&T maintains County roads and right-of-ways by mowing medians and roadsides, clearing brush, and maintaining storm drain channels and ponds. Annual blitzes are held to improve the cleanliness of the county's streets and public spaces. 

Private Property Concerns (DPIE)

The Department of Permitting, Inspections, and Enforcement (DPIE) enforces private property codes and regulations, including property maintenance, zoning compliance, rental housing inspections, and the resolution of code violations to maintain safe and livable communities.
