BaltCo Litter Blitz Cleanups
From April through May, organizations, individuals and groups are invited to register to host BaltCo Litter Blitz cleanups. Visit the Litter Blitz interactive hub website to register and put your cleanup on the map. You will have the choice to show your cleanup as private, or provide your contact information for volunteers to join in. The Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability is offering a small quantity of work gloves and trash bags (while supplies last), a social media outreach toolkit and tips for organizing a community cleanup.
We hope that your group will participate and help keep our neighborhoods and waterways free of litter. If you need further information, please email GreenTeam@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Mohrs Lane Bridge
The Mohrs Lane Bridge (Bridge B-0143) over the CSX Railroad, north of Pulaski Highway, was closed in 2007 because of structural deterioration. Demolition was completed by CSX in 2011 and Baltimore County assumed ownership with plans to rebuild the span. A new bridge is awaiting the completion of the engineer’s design. The final plans are almost complete. The structure is scheduled to be advertised for construction this year. This bridge will be part of the future Campbell Boulevard Corridor.
