(July 19, 2012) – The citizens of
Baltimore have spoken. They are
tired of the trash from litterers
flowing into Baltimore’s waterways.
Baltimore’s Department of Public Works
(DPW) heard the call and recently
installed
five storm drain trash catchers </span><span>around
town
to snag litter before it goes down the
storm drains and into the city’s
waterways. </span></div>

people litter, most of it goes down
our
storm drains and winds up in the
water –soda bottles and cans,
McDonald’s
burger containers, you name it,”
said DPW Director Alfred H. Foxx.
“The
installation of these types of
devices is a part of our ongoing
effort to address
trash removal in both the northwest
branch (Inner Harbor) and the middle
branch
of the Patapsco River.”</span></span></div>
