Due to extreme weather conditions and the resulting difficulty in accessing collection points, the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Solid Waste, announced today that both trash and recycling collections will be cancelled for the remainder of the week. Citizens are asked to hold their trash and recycling until their next regularly scheduled collection day. As always, Citizens are asked to properly contain trash in cans with tight-fitting lids to keep rats out and keep litter in its place.
The safety of citizens and our Solid Waste workers is our top operational priority at this time. The Bureau will continue to utilize its resources to support the Department of Transportation in its snow removal efforts. Once roadways are reasonably clear, the Bureau will determine how to best restore full collection services next week.
Citizens are also reminded that Bulk Trash Collections have been cancelled throughout the remainder of the week. Although Citizen Drop-Off Centers are closed to the public now, they will be REOPENED on Friday, February 12th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Citizens can go to www.baltimorecity.gov or www.clearergreenbaltimore.com
to find the nearest drop off center.
We thank citizens for their patience as we work together to meet the challenges presented by these historic and unprecedented back-to-back storm events.
