BALTIMORE – Today, DPW reminds citizens that the deadline to request the smaller 35-gallon municipal trash can is April 20.

Residents of neighborhoods scheduled for delivery in May and June may still get a smaller can delivered if they call 311 by April 20.  In order to receive a 35-gallon can, residents must meet the requirements of having one of a block-long group of row houses and front trash collection.

More information about the distribution schedule, and other facts about the Municipal Trash Can program, is available on the Baltimore City Department of Public Works’ website, http://PublicWorks.BaltimoreCity.gov.  Click on the municipal trash can banner.
