Prince George's Expanding Compost Program to Curbside Pickup

Prince George’s County’s compost program will include curbside pickup to help fight climate change and its disproportionate impact on communities of color. Prince George's County has the largest and most advanced composting facility on the East Coast and the largest one in a Black and brown community in the country. Residents will receive a wheeled green cart and kitchen pail to collect food scraps and yard trim for composting every Monday. PG composting program, because it’s a municipal composting program, can accept things that you normally wouldn’t compost in your backyard. That includes not only your vegetable scraps, but your meat scraps, your seafood scraps, pizza boxes, paper products. Residents will start receiving materials in Spring 2023.
