Baltimore Councilmembers Call for DPW Director to Resume Weekly Recycling Pickup or Resign

Two Baltimore City Council members have a message for the city’s public works director: resume full weekly recycling pickup in the next eight weeks or resign.

Councilmembers Zeke Cohen and Isaac Yitzy Schleifer on Monday sent a letter to Department of Public Works Director Jason Mitchell, highlighting residents’ frustration with biweekly recycling pickup and calling for the resumption of a weekly pickup schedule.
