BALTIMORE, MD – The Baltimore City Department of Public Works will be holding a special one day sale on our popular yellow recycling bins. The bin sale will be located at Hanlon Park (on the Gwynns Falls side), from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The bright canary yellow 25-gallon recycling bins will be on sale at deeply discounted rates. On Saturday, May 16, Baltimore residents can purchase the bins for $7 (regularly $12). Smaller 18-gallon bins are on sale for $4 (regularly $5), and lids for the large containers will be on sale for $3.

Recycling benefits our environment and our city, and it is easy to do. As a reminder, residents do not need city-issued recycling bins to recycle. Paper bags, cardboard or plastic boxes and trash cans, labeled “recycling,” are all acceptable containers. Please do not use plastic bags for recycling.

This year DPW is supporting citizens’ efforts to recycle by selling recycling bins at locations throughout the City.

Here is a list of the remaining scheduled 2015 recycle bin sales:
