At the foot of Patterson Park’s famous four-story Pagoda, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works will hold a special one-day sale on our popular yellow recycling bins. The bin sale will take place Saturday, Oct. 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The bright, canary yellow recycling bins will be on sale at deeply discounted rates.  Baltimore residents can purchase the 25-gallon bins for $7 (regularly $12) and the smaller 18-gallon bins are on sale for $4 (regularly $5). 

Recycling benefits our environment and our city, and it is easy to do. As a reminder, residents do not need city-issued recycling bins to recycle. Paper bags, cardboard or plastic boxes and trash cans, labeled “recycling,” are all acceptable containers. Please do not use plastic bags for recycling.

This year DPW has been supporting citizens’ efforts to recycle by selling recycling bins at locations throughout the City.  Stay tuned for the 2016 list of recycle bin sales and shredding events.
