Charles County Government is recognizing Earth Day on April 20, 2023 by partnering with the Maryland State Highway Administration to do a spring litter blitz in Charles County to clean our roadways.
All motorists can help “Keep Charles County Beautiful” by securing loads in their vehicles and putting trash where it belongs ̶ in a trashcan, and not along our roadways.
