Trash

All garbage will be picked up on Tuesdays in all of Canton. Unless you've opted out of the city trash can program, trash should be placed in the city-issued green trash receptacles. Depending on where you live, trash may be collected in front of your home or from the alley. It is against City Ordinance not to keep your garbage in a properly sealed trash can container. Trash cans should be put out before 7:00 am on Tuesday.

Please don't put out your trash before the morning of your designated pickup day. It encourages rat and rodent infestation. Responsible residents make for a clean and healthy Canton. We love Professor Trash Wheel, but we really don't like feeding her from our own backyard!

If you can't wait until your designated pickup day, take your trash to an authorized disposal location. See below under e-cycling for locations and hours of sanitation yards and the landfill. The Western, Eastern, and Northwestern Sanitation Yards are now open on Saturdays.

Recycling

Recycling in Baltimore City has been single-stream since 2008. All recyclable materials—bottles, cans, plastics (#s 1–7), mixed paper and cardboard—should be set out in a single container. Use the City's yellow recycling containers or any other container clearly marked "recycling." Place recycling containers in the same location as your trash before 7:00 am on Thursdays for collection. Plastic bags of any color will not be accepted.

If Tuesday or Thursday is a city holiday, collection will be the following Saturday.

e-CYCLING

Baltimore DPW offers free year-round recycling of consumer electronics such as DVD players, VCRs, computers and monitors, radios, and speakers. Electronics can be dropped off at any of the following locations and times:

• Quarantine Road Sanitary Landfill, 6100 Quarantine Rd. — Monday–Saturday 9:00 am–5:00 pm

• Northwest Transfer Station, 5030 Reisterstown Rd. — Monday–Friday 7:00 am–3:00 pm

• Western Sanitation Yard, 701 Reedbird Ave. — Monday–Saturday 9:00 am–5:00 pm

• Eastern Sanitation Yard, 6101 Bowleys Ln. — Monday–Saturday 9:00 am–5:00 pm

• Northwest Sanitation Yard, 2840 Sisson St. — Monday–Saturday 9:00 am–5:00 pm
