BALTIMORE, MD (December 7, 2012): Public Works Director Alfred H. Foxx announced today that the 2013 Department of Public Works (DPW) Calendar is in the mail to Baltimore City residents. The highly popular calendar is a vital tool for our citizens, providing a wide range of information about our services, programs, and city-wide events.
 
In addition, each month of the calendar highlights a specific aspect of the important work performed by DPW. This includes information on customer care, trash and recycling collections, water initiatives, city water reservoirs, rat control, and protecting your water lines in cold weather. It also includes Baltimore City holiday schedules and important contact and assistance information. Popular DPW events like Big Truck Day and Dam Jam are also included to help you plan ahead so that you won’t miss them.
 
The calendar is free to Baltimore City residents and has been voted one of the best uses of taxpayers’ money by City Paper’s Best of Baltimore.
 
City residents who have not received a calendar within the next two weeks should call 311 to request one. The calendar will also soon be posted on- line. To view the 2012 calendar on-line, please go to www.baltimorecity.gov.
