LARGO, MD – With the threat of inclement weather forecast for the weekend, the Prince George's County Department of the Environment advises residents that all curbside bulky trash, regular trash, recycling, and food scraps and yard trim collections may be delayed or postponed due to weather- or road-related conditions beginning the week of January 26, 2026.
