Baltimore Hauls Frozen Snow to Expanded Dump Sites as 311 Requests Top 7,000

Officials emphasize that property owners must clear most sidewalks.

Overview

  • City operations have shifted to phase two, hauling neighborhood snow to Pimlico, surplus schools and parks, with plans to expand to more than 10 sites.
  • The 311 system has logged over 7,000 snow and ice requests, and city data show more than 5,500 addressed so far.
  • Prolonged subfreezing temperatures have turned piles into ice, prompting use of industrial excavators alongside plows.
  • Many sidewalks and parking areas remain blocked, and several counties say they will prioritize education before fines on shoveling rules.
  • Baltimore’s Snow Corps is matching volunteers with residents who need help, as crews continue work through the weekend and into next week.
