“Thank you to all of the city employees, elected officials, community associations, and residents who volunteered today to make our neighborhoods healthier and cleaner,” said Mayor Brandon M.

Baltimore is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and days like this one help us ensure that beauty can shine through.”

Residents are encouraged to keep the spirit of the citywide day of service going by cleaning up loose litter around their properties, alleyways, and curbsides. For bulk trash removal and other concerns, please call 311.
