For our New Residents;
Trash pickup is Thursday unless a public holiday occurs during the week.
Then it is shifted to Friday. The trash should be out before early morning. Yard clippings, recyclables (paper and glass/metal),and trash are picked up separately. The county supplies a rolling bin for paper and a carrier bin for glass/metal.
The county will pick up metal and large loads such as old refrigerators, lawn furniture, etc. for free four times a year. So paying to remove old appliances or water heaters is not necessary if you can get them to the curb. To schedule such a special pickup, call the county by 11 A.M. on the day before the usual pickup day (Thursday) at 240-777-6410. More information can be obtained at ;

In support of USPS mail delivery to our neighborhood and to help stop identity theft and misdirected mail problems, we have been asked to help.
If you receive a wrong mail or do not receive your expected mail; please contact
MR. Ray Mc Duffie (Customer Service Supervisor) at the Motor drive Post office (301-767-1742)
with a short message, indicating the date of the incident, and a short description, with your follow-up contact number and or email address. Thank you in advance for helping USPS improve mail delivery service to you and your neighbors.
On behalf of the Kenwood Park community, the KPCA board would like to thank all the members of our community who have joined the KPCA in the past. We urge others, including those who rent their homes, to begin their subscriptions this year. Your memberships fund the potluck dinners, the KPCA Newsletter, the neighborhood beautification activities, our website www.kenwoodparkweb.net, the childrens Halloween party, the Garden Club, and the Book Club.
In addition, we encourage everyone in the community to subscribe to the security patrol. The additional fee is modest in view of the benefits to our neighborhood.Our security patrol is present every night throughout the year and can respond more quickly than the county police since the patrol car is within a few blocks of your home.Upon advance notification of a vacation, the security officer will check a subscribers home multiple times a night and will keep alternate phone numbers to contact you or a neighbor if necessary. They will place newspapers and packages out of view.If you have an alarm system, the alarm company can call the patrol if the alarm goes off and there is no response at the residence. The patrol can check the house and call the county police. The secondary responder can be the county police. This will prevent false alarms to the county, which imposes a charge beginning with the 2nd false alarm. Again, this service is for subscribers only.A ready made form is available in our Document Library page for your use on this website.
