'Sweep the Salt' Pilot Program

In an ongoing effort to safeguard our waterways, MCDOT is removing excess road salt from roadways adjacent to sensitive watershed areas, especially following winter storms. Using street sweepers, the program effectively collects road salt and debris, preventing contamination of local water resources. 

MCDOT encourages residents to call 3-1-1 within the County or 240-777-0311 for questions and requests to address excessive salt left on the street.
