Convenience Center
Prince George's County Convenience Center
3501 Brown Station Rd, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774
This is a county convenience center in Upper Marlboro used mainly by local residents for small drop-offs and routine household cleanups. It’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with a trunk load or a pickup rather than big commercial hauls. Expect a compact, practical site rather than a large transfer station.
Drive up to a few clearly marked drop-off containers for trash, recycling and yard waste-they’re usually grouped in one area. The site tends to be smaller in scale, so there’s limited room to maneuver for large trucks; backing into a stall may be needed. Some centers have an entrance/exit lane and a booth or sign-in point, while others are more open and lightly staffed. Weekends and spring cleanup times often get busy, so lines can form and traffic may move slowly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of county residency if available-many county centers require it for access.
- Secure and tarp loose items so they don’t blow around when unloading; gloves and a hand truck make the process quicker.
- Try to visit midweek or early morning to avoid the longest lines, and have items sorted by type before pulling up.
