REMINDER!! Please put your recyclable materials in paper bags, cardboard boxes, City recycle bins or any container clearly marked “recycle”; at the same location as your regular trash.
Please DO NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS. With single stream recycling, we send our materials to a processing facility using an automated system to sort and bale recyclables. Plastic bags jam the automated machinery. Most retailers now collect used plastic shopping bags for recycling (you can even take your used dry cleaning bags to these collection points).
REMEMBER - reducing waste is as important as recycling! Reusable shopping bags are the best choice for the environment!
For more information, please visit other pages of this site, contact the office at (410) 396-4511, or tune in to Baltimore City’s Cable channel 25.
Set out recycling items by 6 a.m. for collection. (Zone 5 is an evening collection. Please see map).
If your collection day falls on a holiday, please hold your recycling items until the make up collection day which will be the following Saturday.
