Household Hazardous Waste Collection Season Begins
Baltimore City Public Works Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., reminds residents that DPW’s Household Hazardous Waste collection season gets underway this week, on Friday and Saturday, April 5 - 6. Residents may drop off household hazardous material at the Northwest Citizens' Convenience Center, 2840 Sisson Street, from 9:00 am. to 5:00 p.m. on both days.
This is an opportunity for Baltimore City residents to drop off items such as oil-based paints, pesticides, herbicides, car and household batteries, drain cleaners, pool chemicals, and more. Latex paint is NOT hazardous waste, it can be dried up and the cans put out for regular trash collection.
