Baltimore City to resume weekly recycling pickup

Weekly recycling pickup is set to return in Baltimore City. According to the mayor's office, the Department of Public Works confirmed that weekly recycling services will return the first full week of March. Officials said the resumption is possible thanks to new hires, an upgraded fleet of "load packer" trucks, and optimized pickup routes. New technology has allowed DPW to reduce the number of stops per crew to 1,800, down from 2,600.
