“Beautify and Comply!” Program
The Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) has initiated a program to promote compliance with frequently cited County code violations, with the dual aim of beautifying your home. This program provides a list of common property maintenance challenges faced by residents and encourages them to repair any defects to sustain the most beautiful county in Maryland.

By conforming to the listed standards, residents ensure better aesthetics in the community, safety for all residents, and can maintain and raise the value of all properties within the County. There is no better time than now to engage in some Spring cleaning and “Beautify and Comply!”

Bulky Trash
The County is reopening the bulky trash drop-off location programming. While there are multiple sites available throughout the County, District 1 is home to a site at the Park and Ride Lot in Laurel (13701 Laurel Bowie Rd.) Starting on June 24th, every other Wednesday, the County will be accepting bulk trash drop-offs between 11AM and 7PM. For more information please visit https://bit.ly/3bwgbka.
Flooding and Drainage
Recently, DPIE, the Department of the Environment, the Department of Public Works and Transportation and the Prince George’s Soil Conservation District collaborated on a comprehensive study of drainage issues. Their findings were compiled in a report entitled Drainage and Flooding in Prince George’s County. You can find details on the report here at https://bit.ly/32xEedG - useful information for many Beltsville residents. The report explains which County agencies investigate different drainage complaints. For more information about the Drainage Defects Complaint Program, call 301.636.2060.
