Spring Bulk Waste Collections: April 21 and 28: See below for more details.

Ah, Spring! The weather is getting warmer, the days longer, and nature is waking up. Spring is always a wonderful time of year in our area and there are a few things to keep in mind for the benefit of our whole community.

Remember that warmer weather and longer daylight hours bring more outside activity, particularly for our children. Please be careful when driving and keep an eye out for people walking, biking, and playing. The speed limit on residential streets – unless otherwise posted - is 30 mph.

Keep in mind that, with more outside activity, there are more things for our four-legged friends to get excited about. Dogs must be leashed when not on their own property and, when on their property, must be under the control of the owner. Even the most well-behaved, friendly canine can forget his manners when people or other dogs are around. And others have no way of knowing if your dog is one of the nice ones.

The Public Works Department will soon start their warm-weather schedule, so make sure that your trash and recycling is at the curb by 6:00 AM on collection days. It is acceptable to put containers out the night before.

Bulk Waste – April 21 for Tuesday or Wednesday trash customers; April 28 for Thursday trash customers. You must submit a request via the Town website or call ahead to schedule pickup (see link below).

Yard Waste: May 5 for Tuesday and Wednesday trash customers; May 12 for Thursday trash customers. No need to schedule; items must be at the curb by 6 AM on your collection date.

For details about either collection, please call 410-641-2770 visit: https://berlinmd.gov/special-collections-policy/

We’ve all heard the saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers”…those showers also bring greener grass that soon needs a trim. Please remember that grass clippings and other yard waste that gets swept or blown into the street and ends up in the storm drains can cause blockages and backups. Even though it is “all-natural” it takes a long time to decompose and will cause big problems when it all piles up in the stormwater system. These materials also carry chemicals, animal feces, and other harmful substances into our coastal bays, creating problems for the plant and animal life so important to our region.
