On April 1, 2019, the City began piloting a new food scrap drop-off program to reduce organic material sent to the landfill! In the first year, (April 2019-April 2020) more than 15 tons of food scraps were diverted from the landfill.
Through this service, residents can drop-off food scraps that will be composted locally at the Prince George’s County Organics Compost facility.
