Thanks to all who helped make things cleaner and more pleasant on Saturday. As is said, "actions speak louder than words". From my vantage point at the 23rd. and Guilford table, between 7:00 and 1:00 p.m. I counted 16 Red CVCBD sanitation Truck pick ups and numerous others by volunteers including Peter Duvall. It was inspiring to see all types of trucks, from new to ancient, pass by on the way to the dumpsters. The response from the Old Goucher/Barclay neighborhood was phenomenal and a big thank you to the ladies at Ebeneezer Baptist Church and Sandra Coles for the wonderful food !<BR>

During my trips to Sisson Street or Reisterstown Rd. to dump, in my experience is it depends the employees on duty. Some are very helpful, others useless. The reason they ask for i.d. from us is to try and prevent small haulers from taking up all the space locally. They are supposed to go to Pulaski highway to dump, and leave Sisson Street for citizens with a little of this and that, and recyclable. By the way, the Reistertown Road location is easier to use, we simply back up the Jeep and the dumpsters are below. At Sisson, we have actually seen people trying to throw up into the dumpsters (10,12 ft.) , because city employees told them to.<BR>
