Fall is here in Maryland! 🍂 Gunnar spotted a paws-itively sneaky problem: trash hiding under leaf piles. It washes into storm drains and ends up in the Chesapeake Bay. 🐶 Bag it, don’t bury it, and leave no trace! 🍁 #KeepMarylandBeautiful

“We have seen firsthand how important it is to prepare for infrastructure emergencies,” said Sec. McIlwain. “Disruptions can happen, even when dedicated professionals are working around the clock to keep the water flowing….
Every day, dedicated water utility employees work behind the scenes to keep safe, reliable drinking water flowing, often without the recognition they deserve. On #ImagineADayWithoutWater, Maryland Secretary of the Environment (@MDEnvironment) Serena McIlwain shared a special message of appreciation for those who work tirelessly to protect public health and ensure our communities have water when they need it.

Is your porch looking like this? Remember to flatten those boxes and keep them dry until recycling day. The plastic bubble mailers can be dropped in the same bin as plastic bags at your local retailor to be recycled into plastic decking material.
