BALTIMORE DPW RECYCLING INITIATIVE
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) is launching its new OOPS Tag Recycling Initiative, a citywide program designed to reduce contamination in recycling bins and improve recycling efficiency. DPW is placing OOPS Tags on recycling bins found to contain incorrect or non-recyclable items. Each tag clearly identifies the contamination issue and provides guidance on how to properly recycle moving forward. When a bin receives an OOPS Tag, residents will be asked to remove the incorrect items before their recycling is collected on the next scheduled pick-up day. For additional information, visit the Baltimore City Public Works website
LAWN CARE
While most of our residents do a fine job with their home’s lawn care, an added measure of attention to a home’s front sidewalks, curbs, and gutters—where trimmings, weeds, and trash can collect—can be the finishing touches that move the neighborhood's appeal up another notch. Please consider your curb appeal and pick up trash and weeds by the street.
NORTHEAST CITIZENS ON PATROL (NECOP)
The Northeast Citizens Patrol (NECOP) is a citizens Patrol that covers the communities of Northeast Baltimore. Its members patrol their communities every Thursday, Friday, and designated Saturday nights between 7:30 PM and 11:00 PM. When they observe a suspicious activity or an issue needing police attention, they notify an on-duty Baltimore Police Officer, who acts as the Patrol's liaison via a NECOP radio. The officer either responds and abates the issue, notifies another on duty patrol unit to respond and abate the issue, or documents the activity for future investigation by a detective, narcotics, or vice unit. This effort has reduced crime in Northeast Baltimore since the Patrol's inception. Please email bhia21214@gmail.com, if you are interested in volunteering your time.
