<div>Here's the relevant text from the city ordinances. I couldn't figure out how to link directly to the subsection, but it's in the Civil Citations digest, under Title 7 of the Health Code <a href="http://www.baltimorecity.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=f%2fJHpZjoT1Q%3d&tabid=159">http://www.baltimorecity.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=f%2fJHpZjoT1Q%3d&tabid=159</a> </div>

<div>Two sections that seemed relevant, the first requires that dumpsters be labeled with the company name and container registration number, the second lays out the permitted hours (7am to 11 pm).</div>

When it happened at 28th and Maryland at 4 a.m., I called Salem Reiner at JHU and he called the company to stop it. So the best thing to do is to locate the person or company paying the bill for dumpster pickup at that location and approach them with the request to contact the company to come after 7 am.<br>
<br>There is a City ordinance prohibiting dumpster pickup in residential areas but I am not sure of the hours. The city ordinances and laws are online at <a href="http://www.baltimorecity.gov/" target="_blank">www.baltimorecity.gov</a>.<br>
