In observance of Juneteenth Independence Day, all City of College Park offices will be closed on Thursday, June 19, 2025.
Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, marking the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is a time to reflect on the ongoing journey toward justice, equality, and freedom for all.
Please note that there will be no regular trash, recycling, or yard waste collections on that day. Additionally, special collections will only take place on Friday, June 20, during this holiday week. If you need a special pickup, please schedule it in advance by calling 240-487-3590 or emailing publicworks@collegeparkmd.gov. Do not place items at the curb without confirmation.
We appreciate your understanding and wish everyone a meaningful and reflective Juneteenth.
