No longer do we have to cross streams!

Single stream recycling is coming to Baltimore on January 8! (For some reason, this makes Hawker think of Ghostbusters, but let's get back to the subject at hand.)

This means that you can put all your recyclables into one bin, and there will be just two pickup days to keep track of a month. Your new recycling day will be your current paper collection day.

You can use any container that is clearly marked "recycling," a cardboard box or a yellow bin or trash can available from the city.

You can pick up one of these new yellow bins or trash cans at Baltimore Polytechnic at 1400 W. Cold Spring Lane on Saturday, December 15th between 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Bins are $5, and trash cans are $6 (which is half price.) Only cash or money orders will be accepted.

Keep Hampden tidy!
