DPW Has More Recycling Bins

If you weren't one of the lucky few who snagged a yellow recycling bin when they were introduced back in mid-December, here's another chance. The Baltimore City Department of Public Works has announced that it has received more 18- and 25-gallon bins. They are available for purchase at the Kane Street Yard (111 Kane Street, across from Patterson High School) between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Prices are:

• $5.00 for an 18 gallon (square) bin
  
• $6.00 for a 25 gallon (round) bin (normally $12.00, but discounted through January 31).
  

Lids for 25-gallon containers are not available, but DPW says that standard plastic bin lids from your local hardware store should fit. DPW is looking into the possibility of selling 25-gallon lids in the future.

Remember, yellow bins are not required for recycling your clean paper, bottles, and cans. Any bin, box, or bag clearly marked "Recycling" can be used. For more details about the new single-stream recycling program, visit the CCA's Recycling and Trash Schedule page.
