ALERT: Arcadia’s Trash and Recycling schedule is changing!
Watch for the announcement in our July/August newsletter. All of Arcadia will be on a brand new One PLUS ONE schedule with the start-up on July 13th.
Tuesday = recycling
Thursday = trash day
See the details below. Help us to keep our neighbors informed.
§ Service changes go into effect beginning July 13
§ Postcards with specific days of service will be mailed to all customer addresses beginning the last week of June
§ Many addresses will also receive automated calls directing them to www.baltimorecity.gov and 311 for details on their new days of service
§ Citizens can now go on-line to www.baltimorecity.gov OR www.cleanergreenerbaltimore.org OR call 311, provide their address and receive their specific days of service
§ The point of collection for trash and recycling will now be the same – recycling will follow trash – so, if trash collection is at the rear of a property – recycling will also be collected at the rear
§ Yard waste remains unlimited and can be bagged or bundled and set out on trash collection day
§ Bulk Service is unchanged – citizens can still call 311 to schedule their bulk pick up of no more than 3 items per month
§ Enforcement will be focused on failure to use trash cans – not volume and schedule – we intend to allow at least a 3 month grace period for enforcement of new service requirements as we know citizens will need time to adjust to the changes

SMOKE TESTING OF BALTIMORE CITY ’S SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
To improve our sewer system, the City of Baltimore , Department of Public Works has contracted Black & Veatch Corporation to conduct smoke testing during the month of July and August. The testing is necessary to locate defects in the sanitary sewers in your neighborhood. The investigation is part of a city-wide program in compliance with the City’s Consent Decree entered into with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) to repair Baltimore City ’s sewer system and reduce wastewater overflow into the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Your cooperation and understanding are appreciated while this important work is undertaken.
Smoke Testing involves introducing smoke into the sewer system and observing the locations where the smoke escapes. The smoke escapes from sewer defects where rainwater or groundwater can enter. To reduce sewer flow, these defects must be identified, located and repaired. If the plumbing in your house is in proper condition, the smoke will not escape into your home. However, if you do have any plumbing problems, smoke will escape from any defective pipes.
To ensure your plumbing (i.e. sinks, shower stalls, etc.), and inside floor drains are properly sealed prior to the smoke test, pour a bucket of water in each drain to fill the trap so that no smoke escapes from the drains. During the test, it is normal for smoke to escape from the vent pipe through the roof of your home and this should cause no alarm.
The smoke used in this test is not harmful to people, pets or furnishings. We respectfully request your assistance by notifying handicapped or homebound persons in your neighborhood of this test.
A reminder door hanger will be distributed a few days prior to the Smoke Test. It is not necessary for you to be home during the inspection. However, the inspectors may need to walk onto your property to look for signs of smoke coming from area drains, downspouts or the ground.
If you have any questions or observe smoke escaping from any place other than the roof vent pipes, please notify one of the field personnel conducting the test. If you have any questions regarding the smoke testing program, please call the Black & Veatch smoke testing hotline at (866) 440-1695 or the City of Baltimore Herring Run Sewer shed Project Manager, Ms. Tonorah Houston, at (410) 396-3440 between the hours of 8 am-4:30 pm or if immediate attention is required after hours please call 311.

APPEAL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE IN THE CITY’S HOMELESS SHELTERS

We are opening two new shelters at Edmondson High School on the west side and Ralph J. Young Rec Center (2031 E. Fayette Center) on the east side. The homeless clients are searched for weapons before being bused into the shelter at 7:00 PM. The shelters are open until 6:00 AM. Volunteers will conduct a monitoring function under staff direction.

Baltimore City’s Recycling Program
You can read more about Baltimore ’s recycling program at http://www.baltimorecity.gov/government/dpw/recycle.php; their recycling collection program includes the following material:
City is collecting all recyclable materials – bottles, cans, plastic # 1-7, mixed paper and cardboard in a single container on the same day. With Single Stream collection there is no excuse not to recycle; it simplifies the recycling schedule; you will mix your recycling material all together and set out for collection in one bin and on the same day. The new system will help make recycling simpler, easier and boost participation.
Single Stream Recycling bins are available. After an initial supply of 10,000 bins sold out quickly, 20,000 more were ordered. Both 18-gallon and 25-gallon bins can be bought at Baltimore City's Kane Street Yard (111 Kane Street, across from Patterson High School) between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. The smaller 18-gallon bins remain $5 and the large 25-gallon bins, regularly priced at $12, remain discounted for $6 through the end of January.
Residents can buy up to four bins at the Kane Street location only. Bins can be purchased in bulk by residents representing their neighborhood block with a list of those residents. Based on available quantities, community groups can pre-pay for bulk purchases to re-sell to their members. Payment may be made with cash, money order or check (checks must be made out to the Director of Finance. Proof of identification including address is required.) Yellow bins are for recycling only! Regular trash and debris will not be picked up from them. They are NOT REQUIRED to recycle – use any bin as long as it is clearly marked “recycle.” Cardboard boxes and/or paper bags can also be used.
Please note, there will be no more Monday recycling collection, to avoid all of the holiday missed collections; and plastic bags of any color will no longer be accepted.
Should you have questions please dial 311. If you would like me to attend one of your community meetings, please contact me at 410-396-4511 or at tonya.simmons@baltimorecity.gov.

The FRIENDS of the Northeast Interfaith Peace Garden will also coordinate the use of the space by groups in our community.

Of course, everyone is invited to come and visit the Garden any time you choose. It’s community space, and it’s open to the public. The Garden is a place of peace, quiet, and tranquility, and you might like to spend an hour or two there some quiet afternoon. Walk the labyrinth, stroll through the perennial garden, just sit on a bench and relax, listening to the sound of water in the fountain. The Garden is there for you, and you're always most welcome there!
For more information on the FRIENDS, please call or email 410-254-2883, or friendsnipg@comcast.net . You can also visit the FRIENDS on their website-under-construction, www.friendsnipg.org

BALTIMORE CITY NEEDS MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Although Baltimore residents, who are current homeowners, have seen their property values rising over the past few years, many other residents are finding it difficult to buy or rent housing in our city. The rise in home sale prices has also lead to higher rents and more challenges in becoming a first time homebuyer. In fact, some city employees working as police officers, teachers and fire fighters have experienced this problem. To address this important issue, the Baltimore City Council established a special task force to study concrete ways for the city to produce (or support production of) more affordable housing units.
If you want more information on the subject, invite a speaker for your next community meeting to share information on the task force recommendations and future City Council bills to implement these recommendations. Members of Beyond the Boundaries Metro East Regional Team, who have experience in housing and community development issues, are willing to present the details and answer residents' questions. To schedule a speaker, contact Dorothy Dobbyn at 443/386-2312 (days) or 410/889-4406 (evenings).
