Now that the Christmas holiday is over, Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., today offered important reminders to residents on curbside collection and mulching of Christmas trees - mulching starts Jan. 5 and curbside tree collection begins Jan. 2, 2019.

Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) has been notified that the free polystyrene recycling service, located at the Northwest Citizens Convenience Center on Sisson Street, will be discontinued as of Monday, May 21.

Visitors as well as residents will have more opportunities to recycle and keep the City of Baltimore beautiful, thanks to a $10,580 grant from Keep America Beautiful and Coca-Cola for 20 public recycling bins.

Remember this holiday season to recycle your old, broken, and unwanted electrical appliances by dropping them off at any of Baltimore’s five citizen drop off locations.  You may be helping to support jobs for workers with physical or mental challenges.  Baltimore’s new electronics recycling vendor – CyclePoint from SourceAmerica – creates sustainable jobs for people with significant disabilities.

Now that Christmas is over, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) is encouraging residents to recycle their Christmas tree into mulch.  DPW will offer tree mulching for Baltimore City

Oysters – sweet and fresh from the Chesapeake – are wonderful. Just as wonderful is helping to restock the waters with more oysters.
