LARGO, MD – Prince George’s County’s bi-annual countywide beautification event – ‘Clean Up, Green Up’ – will take place on Saturday, October 20, 2018.  The County invites community organizations, schools, businesses, municipalities, and anyone interested in helping keep it clean and green to participate.

“‘Clean Up, Green Up’ is a win-win on several levels.  Not only is it great for the environment with the planting, cleaning, and litter removal, but it also creates opportunities for neighbors to reconnect with one another and for new residents, businesses, and organizations to get to know their communities,” said Gwendolyn T. Clerkley, Acting Director of the Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T).  “We had a great turnout for last fall’s event, and are looking forward to that same type of participation this year.”

The Department of Public Works and Transportation will provide registered participants with plastic gloves, trash bags, safety vests, litter grabbers, and a maximum of eight (8) bags of mulch for this fall’s ‘Clean Up, Green Up.’  The registration deadline is Friday, October 5, 2018.  Everyone is encouraged to take part in the Fall 2018 ‘Clean Up, Green Up’.

Students who participate in ‘Clean Up, Green Up’ can receive community service hours.  Verification forms for community service are available at the schools.

‘Clean Up, Green Up’ is a partnership between Prince George’s County Government, Prince George’s County Public Schools, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Keep Prince George’s County Beautiful, and the Neighborhood Design Center.

If you have any questions or need more information, please call DPW&T’s Office of Highway Maintenance at (301) 499-8523 or e-mail Regina Ford at RBFord1 at co.pg.md.us.
