Convenience Centers Extend Hours for Holidays
As a convenience to citizens, the six St. Mary’s County convenience centers will open early for operations on Monday and Tuesday, December 28 and 29 at 8 am each day.
The centers will close at their usual time of 5 pm.
The early openings allow convenience center workers to accommodate the increased usage of the facilities by residents during the busy holiday season.
As a reminder, Christmas trees will be collected at the St. Andrew’s Landfill and convenience centers free of charge. Undecorated trees may be placed in designated areas between December 26 and January 31. Last year, the County collected nearly 5 tons of Christmas trees, which were mixed with the collected yard waste and ground into mulch. Almost 5,000 tons of mulch is produced annually at the St. Andrews Landfill site and provided to county citizens free of charge while supplies last.
