DPW Recycling Locations

Recycling pickup is temporarily suspended in Baltimore through November 1, 2020. During this time, DPW will provide 14 locations across the city where residents will be able to dispose of recycling Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The closest location to Canton is the DPW Marine Operations Facility located at 3311 Eastbourne Avenue off Clinton Street south of Boston Street.

Residents can bring their recyclables to any of these locations. (See map.) Neighbors are encouraged to reach out to their CCA Block Captains to coordinate drop-offs. Don’t know if your block has a captain? Email info@cantoncommunity.org.
