Christine,<br>
<br>
Let me answer your questions in the order you asked them:<br>
<br>
According to the City web site,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.baltimorecity.gov/government/dpw/recycle/bins.php">http://www.baltimorecity.gov/government/dpw/recycle/bins.php</a> , 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
