Christine,

Let me answer your questions in the order you asked them:

According to the City web site,
http://www.baltimorecity.gov/government/dpw/recycle/bins.php , a limited
number of lids for the yellow recycling cans are available at 111 Kane St.
(across from Patterson High School) Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
for $3 each.  I have not been there yet to get lids, but it seems to me that
if I am going to keep a recycling can behind my  house to hold recycling
between pickups as I would like to do, then I ought to have a lid on the
can.  Yesterday, I asked David Hill about having CVCBD buy lids to resell at
cost, and he said that he would look into it.  Previously, he had told me
that CVCBD would get lids when they became available.  I may go to Kane St.
next week to try to get lids for my 2 cans.  But the City does not require
lids on the recycling cans, and there are no lids for the bins.  Some people
have drilled holes in the bottom of the cans (the bins have holes already)
in order to let water drain out of the cans when it rains.

It is unfortunate that the yellow recycling cans are an odd size for which
lids are not available at hardware stores.  But if, as I expect, the City
goes to its planned one plus one trash removal system on July 1 (one pickup
each week of mixed refuse from a 65 gallon trash can to be provided to each
household by the City, and one recycling pickup each week, with a sizable
cost saving for the City), then one can also label the old plastic trash
cans as recycling (the City has bumper stickers available that you can put
on the cans to so label them), and those cans hopefully have lids.

The City most emphatically does not want you to use plastic bags for
recycling.  They say that plastic bags should be recycled at the stores that
take them for recycling.  Also, I find that I need plastic bags for cat
poop, and you probably need them for your dog's poop.

Electronic stuff (that actually contains a lot of toxic substances) can be
dropped off at the Sisson Street transfer station (on the west side of
Sisson between 28th and 29th Streets, basically at the bottom of the hill
before you get to the JFX) any time that that transfer station is open.
Generally, that means Monday through Saturday, and you can look online on
the City web site for the hours (summer and winter hours are not the same).
Regular trash and recycling can also be dropped off there.  About once every
6 months, you can drop other hazardous waste off at  Poly.

Steve.

Would someone clarify the trash/recycling pickup.

I finally bought both a yellow trash container and a yellow recycling bin.

I thought trashcans had to have lids/covers, yet the one I bought and the
ones I've seen do not have covers.  What does "one" do?

Also, are the items that are in the yellow recycling bins in plastic bags or
not 

Finally, does Poly still have a drop-off place for recycling old televisions
and computer items?

Thank you,

Christine Gray
