Spring is finally upon us, and Baltimore City is once again encouraging residents to beautify their neighborhoods during the Mayor’s Annual Spring Clean-up and day of service next month.
The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 27. Residents, volunteer groups, and community associations can register their own clean-up by calling 311, or volunteer to be part of a predetermined site.
“Every year, the Mayor’s Spring Cleanup brings together hundreds of residents in service to clean and beautify the neighborhoods where they live, work, and play,” said Mayor Brandon M. Scott in a statement. “Not only is this an opportunity to make our communities healthier and cleaner as the weather warms, it’s also an opportunity to strengthen bonds between neighbors and residents who love Charm City. When we work together, we create stronger neighborhoods and a stronger Baltimore.”
When participants register their clean-up, they can request city trucks to visit their location for trash and debris collection.
The Department of Public Works will provide 50 trash bags to each registered community group, and five trash bags to those registering as individuals.
Registrants can pick up trash bags starting March 25 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day at these DPW locations: 2840 Sisson St. (Monday- Saturday) or 111 Kane St. (Monday-Friday).
While calling 311 to register their clean-up, residents can also request a stormwater credit application.
Trash and debris that is collected during these clean-ups can be placed in trash bags and put out for pickup with regular weekly trash collections. Residents can also bring bagged trash to one of the city’s Residential Drop-Off Centers. Commercial vehicles are not allowed at these centers.
During the citywide clean-up event, the city will not collect household bulk trash items, and will not distribute roll-off dumpsters.
Residents can call 311 to schedule a separate bulk collection of up to three items.
