BALTIMORE, MD – Trash and recycling collections have been suspended for Wednesday, Jan. 27.
 
Street sweeping and bulk trash collections have been suspended for the remainder of the week.
 
The citizen convenience centers and the Quarantine Road landfill will re-open for citizen drop offs on Wednesday, Jan.27.
 
City workers and contractors continue efforts to clear roads following this weekend’s historic snowfall. With many residential streets and alleys still impassable, trucks cannot run their routes and drivers have been called to duty plowing and clearing the roads.  DPW Director Rudy S. Chow, P.E., said agency officials will continue to assess whether conditions allow collections to resume on Thursday. 
 
In the interim, residents are reminded to keep trash in bags and secured inside durable trash cans with tight-fitting lids. If needed, citizens can drop their trash and recycling at one of the five (5) DPW citizen convenience centers:
5030 Reisterstown Road
2840 Sisson Street
701 Reedbird Avenue
6101 Bowleys Lane
6100 Quarantine Road
 
Residents should also work to locate and clear the storm drains in their streets and alleys. As temperatures rise above freezing and the snow melts during daylight hours, the stormwater system can only drain water away only if the inlets are kept open. Please also make sure hydrants are clear of snow and accessible.
 
For water emergencies in Baltimore City please call 311, or 410-396-5352 in our Baltimore County service area.
