Baltimore is known for its historic neighborhoods and community spirit. Keeping our city clean and green starts with responsible waste management. Here are five ways to dispose of items without harming the environment.
- Recycle Properly
- Separate paper, plastic, and glass. Check the Baltimore City Department of Public Works website for pickup schedules.
- Donate Usable Items
- Gently used furniture or electronics can be given to local charities like Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
- Use a Local Hazardous Waste Drop-Off
- Paint, chemicals, and batteries shouldn’t go in regular trash. Baltimore has designated drop-off locations—find them at publicworks.baltimorecity.gov.
- Consider Composting
- Yard waste and kitchen scraps can be composted for gardens. Look into local compost programs if you don’t have space at home.
- Choose the Right Dumpster
- A properly sized dumpster helps prevent overflow and mix-ups with recyclables. At Roger That Roll-Off, we keep track of permissible items and help you stay compliant with local rules.
