BALTIMORE – Street sweeping has been suspended for the week of Feb. 1 due to continuing difficult conditions following last week’s cleanup from the record snowfall. The Baltimore City Department of Public Works made the determination after considering the road conditions.

Parking restrictions for street sweeping will not be enforced.
Collection of scheduled bulk trash will resume Monday, Feb. 1. Bulk items should be left in front of houses if possible to help crews get to the trash.
And as snow melts amid warming temperatures, residents are asked to check the storm drain inlets to make sure they are clear and can handle the runoff.
