In anticipation of Tropical Storm Debby, St. Mary’s County has announced the availability of self-service sandbag stations to help residents protect their properties from potential flooding. The sandbags will be accessible on Wednesday, August 7, and Thursday, August 8, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at St. Andrews Landfill, located at 44837 St. Andrews Church Road.
Residents are advised that the sandbags are not pre-filled and there is a limit of 10-25 sandbags per person, available while supplies last.
