A Holiday Reminder:

DPW offers recycling of Christmas paper and eCycling for electronics too!

After the Christmas cheer, the Bureau of Solid Waste reminds citizens to please recycle. Recyclable paper includes wrapping, tissue and colored paper. You can also recycle cardboard packaging and boxes as well as any unwanted holiday cards and envelopes. We do not recycle ribbons or foil. Styrofoam material can ONLY be recycled at the Northwest Citizen's Convenience Center. Please put Styrofoam materials in a clear plastic bag.

If Santa brought you some new electronic devices, remember to take the outdated ones to one of our five Citizen Convenience Centers for our ecycling program. This service is free and available year-round.

Citizens may drop off items for recycling or eCycling at one of the following sanitation yards: Quarantine Road Sanitary Landfill, 6100 Quarantine Road, Northwest Transfer Station, 5030 Reisterstown Road, Western Sanitation Yard, 701 Reedbird Avenue, the Eastern Sanitation Yard, 6101 Bowleys Lane and the Northwest Citizens’ Convenience Center at 2840 Sisson Street. These drop-off locations are open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the Northwest Transfer Station is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For more information on recycling, you may consult your 2012 DPW calendar or visit the city's website www.baltimorecity.gov.

Happy Recycling!
