Baltimore Suspends Recycling Pickup Due to Coronavirus Trash Backlog

Recycling pickup is suspended in Baltimore starting August 31 in order to address the coronavirus-related trash backlog, the Department of Public Works (DPW) announced Thursday.

“We’ve reached our breaking point,” Acting Director Matthew W. Garbark said during a press conference, according to CBS Baltimore.

The report continued:

By cancelling curbside recycling pickup, DPW officials say their employees and contractors can focus on trash pick up. The coronavirus pandemic has increased the amount of residential trash in the city, officials said, as well as leading to come employees contracting the virus.

Following the first outbreak of the coronavirus at one of its facilities, a second was reported on July 17 at another facility and the departmentsent everyone except a few workers home to quarantine and closed the landfill for two days.

If we learned anything in this pandemic is who to vote for. Districts mayors governors are terrible managers in some places like Maryland and Delaware.

What the media won't tell you is that the trash collection services are not even going into some places right now.
Trash piling up on the sidewalk and against buildings.

Rats everywhere.

Baltimore is crumbling into chaos.

And when these people destroy their city, where do you think they will go??

You BETTER own some guns (plural) and you BETTER have a lot of ammo.
Entropy is at work and it ain't going to get better.

Keep cheering the promises of the democrat leaders to "improve" the lives of black people, to "work towards" unity, and the other flowery and wonderful rainbows everywhere BS they PROMISE every 4 years. NEVER do any of it, but it SOUNDS SO GREAT.
My astonishment is that black people fall for that BS every four years.
In forty years what has peolsi, biden, harris, etc., done???
