Here's the relevant text from the city ordinances. I couldn't figure out how to link directly to the subsection, but it's in the Civil Citations digest, under Title 7 of the Health Code http://www.baltimorecity.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=f%2fJHpZjoT1Q%3d&tabid=159
Two sections that seemed relevant, the first requires that dumpsters be labeled with the company name and container registration number, the second lays out the permitted hours (7am to 11 pm). * § 7-219. Identification of containers. * (a) *In general. * Each waste container that has a capacity of 2 cubic yards or more must be labeled with: (1) the name of the licensee; and (2) an identification number assigned by the Commissioner. (b) *Form. * The label must be: (1) on the outside of the container; and (2) in permanent lettering that is: (i) plainly distinguishable; and (ii) at least 3 inches high. * (City Code, 1976/83, art. 11, §269(e).) (Ord. 99-548.) * *§ 7-221. Hours of collection.* (a) *In general. * Except as specified in subsection (b) of this section, no hauler may collect solid waste in the City before 7 a.m. or after 11 p.m. on any day, weekends and legal holidays included. (b) *Nonresidential areas. * A licensee may collect solid waste at any time from a business, commercial, industrial, institutional, or other nonresidential use structure as long as no residential structure is within 100 feet of any collection point. . . . . * (City Code, 1976/83, art. 11, §26(f).) (Ord. 99-548.) * On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 9:28 AM, <slg2...@cs.com> wrote: > John: > > The problem is prevalent.
