Last week, after having to suspend operations at our Eastside Sanitation Yard (Bowleys Lane) to protect workers from the continuing spread of COVID-19, DPW began mobilizing other sanitation employees within the Bureau of Solid Waste. These other employees had been on permission leave (not working, but being paid) for weeks with the understanding that they would support core operations. These essential workers have been reminded of that fact, and a number of employees have returned to work.

Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Acting Director Matthew W. Garbark again reminds owners of vacated or closed businesses and/or large buildings to check their water systems in preparation for "reopening." 

Today, Baltimore City Department of Public Works Acting Director Matthew W. Garbark reminds City residents and businesses that corner cans are not for household or business trash. 

Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) will provide corner can collection three times a day: in the early morning, around midday, and at night in the commercial areas where there are restaurants with outdoor dining. The Department will also provide proactive rat inspection and abatement in these areas. In Fells Point, the Waterfront Partnership will provide cleaning of nuisance litter along the streets and sidewalks in the business areas.
