Spring is for cleaning up after the long winter months and Mayor Craig A. Moe invites you to participate in the Public Works annual April Spring Clean-Up Events! 

During the month of April, the Department of Public Works will be holding various events and specials to help residents clean up their homes and gardens! If you have questions about the events below or other Department of Public Works services, please call at 301-725-0088 or email [email protected].

Extra Yard Debris Collections on Mondays in April

The Department of Public Works will be offering Monday Yard Debris collections in addition to Wednesday yard debris collections in April. Yard debris pickups are FREE, but residents must still call, email or submit online a request for yard debris pickups. The deadline for our Monday pickup is the Thursday before and the deadline for our Wednesday pickup is the Monday before. For more information on how to prepare your yard debris collection, please see our Yard Debris page at https://www.cityoflaurel.org/dpw/refuse/yard-waste.

$10 Discount for First 100 Bulk Pickup Requests

The first 100 residents to request a bulk pickup for both our Wednesday, April 14th, and Wednesday, April 28th, pickups will have the base-fee of $10.00 waived. Extra-billable items (such as sofas, appliances, and electronics) will still have a fee. For more information on what has extra charges and how to properly prepare your pickup, please see our Bulky Item pickup page at https://www.cityoflaurel.org/dpw/refuse/bulky-items. Public Works will start accepting requests for the April 14th pick up on Tuesday, April 6th and requests for the April 28th pick up on Tuesday, April 20th.

Community Dumpsters

Multiple Homeowner’s Associations (HOAs) in the City of Laurel will have community Dumpsters available for residents to dispose of their bulky items on select Saturdays in April from 8:00 a.m. until noon.  Each Homeowner’s Association will contact their members with information on the specific date and items allowed. To find out if your HOA is participating and what Saturday a dumpster will be present in your neighborhood you can reach out to your HOA directly or call/email the Department of Public Works. 

If your community is interested in requesting a dumpster for the 2021 spring clean-up event or future clean-up events please have your HOA representatives reach out to the Department of Public Works at 301-725-0088 or send an email to [email protected] for more information!
