The latest update for the RecycleMORE Community Competition through January 30th shows the leaders holding on but being joined by the Radnor Winston Improvement Association in third place with 800 pounds of recycling.
Still leading the pack is the Cheswolde Neighborhood Association, which has recycled a half a ton of material since the start of the contest. Federal Hill is still in second place with 820 pounds. Riverside has slipped to fourth place with 780. Locust Point has slipped to sixth place with 700 pounds and Hampden has moved up to fifth place with 760 pounds. All neighborhoods are encouraged to promote recycling in their communities in the hope of coming in first at the end of the competition.
Jointly sponsored by the Department of Public Works and the Initiative for a Cleaner Greener Baltimore, the contest tracks recycling tonnage from 39 participating communities from January 1 through March 26, 2010. The neighborhood that recycles the most will win an appreciation day block party. The winner will be announced at the Mayor’s Spring Cleanup Kickoff, April 17, 2010.
The goals of the competition are to increase community partnerships that promote a cleaner, greener City, increase household recycling through community outreach and education, and increase Baltimore’s overall recycling tonnage.
