The Greenbelt Department of Public Works is responsible for keeping the city up and running with wide-ranging duties including taking out the trash; saving energy; maintaining the city’s buildings, vehicles, streets, parks, playgrounds and fields; running the Greenbelt Connection and maintaining the city cemetery.
