Save the Date for Charm City Cleanup in Overlea!

Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Baltimore City’s most ambitious citywide cleaning initiative will be focused on cleaning public spaces and supporting city residents in each of Baltimore’s neighborhoods. This coordinated effort combines government services, community engagement, and cross-agency collaboration. Every single neighborhood will be visited, by the city agencies and partner cleanup crews, to address resident’s 311 service requests. Neighbors are encouraged to report issues to 311, to volunteer for cleaning events and to assist in the coordination of cleanups in their own neighborhoods.

The following agencies will be part of this coordinated effort:

• Department of Public Works (DPW): sweeping streets, clearing storm drains, removing graffiti, and rodent issues.

• Department of Transportation (DOT) will be filling potholes, clearing sidewalks, and mowing median strips.

• Baltimore City Recreation & Parks (BCRP) will clean tree pits, trim trees, and care for green spaces.

• Clean Corps will tackle alleys, streets, sidewalks and vacant lots, working alongside volunteer Baltimore residents. City residents can report 311 requests by calling 311 or online at https://311.baltimorecity.gov

If any Overlea residents would like to volunteer or be involved in the coordination of this clean up effort on October 15th, please contact OCA president Martin Nibali at: president@overleaonline.org
