Get out those yellow containers and fill 'em up. Mayor Sheila Dixon and Baltimore Public Works are sponsoring a contest called the RecycleMORE Community Tonnage Competition.
Communities can register from Wednesday to Dec. 28 for a chance to win an appreciate day block party. Recycling will be tracked from January 1 to March 31 and winnders will be announced during the Mayor's Spring Cleanup Day, on April 17.
To register, call Tonya Simmons, the Bureau of Solid Waste's recycling coordinator, at 410-396-4511. Completed registrations forms can be faxed or emailed to 410-545-6117 or tonya.simmons@baltimorecity.gov.
And while we're on the Cleaner, Greener topic, the city is also offering communities the chance to compete for RecycleMORE 1+1 Program Partner Grants. For more information on these, call Hope Williams, at the Cleaner Greener Baltimore Initiative, at 443-984-3961 or hope.williams@baltimorecity.gov.
