BALTIMORE, MD – This St. Patrick’s Day think of yellow as the new green! The Baltimore City Department of Public Works will be holding a special one day St. Patrick's Day sale on our popular yellow recycling bins.

The bright canary yellow 25-gallon recycling bins will be on sale at deeply discounted rates. On Saturday, March 14, 2015, Baltimore residents can purchase the bins for $7 (regularly $12). Smaller 18-gallon bins are on sale for $4 (regularly $5), and if available, lids for the large contains will be on sale for $3.
The bin sale will be located at the Southwest Citizens’ Convenience Center, 701 Reedbird Ave. from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Recycling benefits our environment and our city, and it is easy to do. So this St. Patrick’s Day don’t forget to recycle those celebratory beverage cans and bottles.
As a reminder, residents do not need city-issued recycling bins to recycle. Paper bags, cardboard or plastic boxes and trash cans, labeled “recycling,” are all acceptable containers. Please do not use plastic bags for recycling.
