Waste Facility
Prince George's County Resource Recovery Division
3500 Brown Station Rd, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774
(301) 952-7625Prince George's County Resource Recovery Division in Upper Marlboro is the county drop-off for local household and small commercial loads. Neighbors use it when a curbside pickup won't handle a bulky load or during seasonal cleanups. The site is a typical county facility that gets busy during weekends and spring cleanup season.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so expect to slow down to check in and get weighed before and after dumping. Traffic backs up at peak times, with trucks and trailers queued into the driveway. The yard is large and industrial-looking, with piles and containers visible from the lanes; plan extra time to maneuver and unload. Staff direct traffic in the lanes, but unloading often requires a hand or two for awkward items.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Try to arrive early on Saturdays and Sundays-lines get long and unloading takes longer when it’s busy.
- Secure and tarpaulin any loose material so it doesn’t blow off while waiting in line or on the drive home.
- Bring at least one helper for heavy or bulky items and make sure you can safely lift or slide items out of a truck or trailer before you get there.
