BALTIMORE. MD (October 21, 2013) — Public Works Director Alfred H. Foxx reminds residents that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s 2013 Fall Cleanup is on Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The 2013 theme is FALL IN BALTIMORE: NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN SWEEP. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, along with community leaders and elected officials will kick-off the event at 9:00 a.m. this Saturday at the intersection of Harford Road and Parkside Drive in HARBEL.

Beginning with this cleanup, residents and property owners have an added incentive to get involved. The newly implemented Maryland Stormwater Fee has now gone into effect, and one way to receive credits to reduce your fee is to participate in organized cleanups such as this.
Participating communities choose a particular location and are asked to bag and stack debris at a designated collection location so that it can be picked up on Monday, October 28.
