Recycling in Seton Hill + Volunteers Needed

As you have likely heard, due to staffing shortages caused by the coronavirus pandemic, DPW workers who normally handled recycling collection were shifted to trash pickup, and this continues. Baltimore City will not resume curbside recycling pickup in November as expected, and is unlikely to do so until at least Dec. 15. 

As we did when recycling pickup in the city was paused for three weeks back in June, the Seton Hill Association is reaching out to neighbors interested in collection and transport of recycling to the Sisson Street Citizen Drop-Off Center, located at 2840 Sisson Street, which is open Monday – Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

SHA can help with a central collecting point for Saturday mornings at 10:00-10:15 a.m. and Tuesday evening drop offs 6:00-6:15 p.m. at the park building. We are looking for volunteers to help with transport to Sisson St. Contact: President@setonhill.org

Please only bring clean recycling in boxes or labeled tubs or cans so we can return them to you: plastic bags are not accepted. See the Single Stream Recycling below.

Monthly neighborhood clean up

UPDATE: Cleanup date/time has been moved to Saturday, 11/14 from 10-11!

Time has seemed slow but the months are passing by quickly this year! This a reminder for the Seton Hill every 2nd Thursday monthly neighborhood clean up. Yes, it’s that time again – please come and meet your neighbors for an early evening tidy up of our streets and St Mary’s Park.

Meet at 5pm in St Mary’s Park by the building near St Mary’s Street. We continue to practice safe distancing and ask that you wear a mask. Seton Hill Association can provide disposable gloves, gardening gloves, hand sanitizer and tools. 

Some rain is forecast; we will proceed unless there’s a downpour.

Yoga In the Park – 2020 Summary and Update

Earlier this year, Seton Hill Resident and yoga instructor Nicole Espaillat wanted to think of ways to help activate St. Mary’s Park amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In June, she began to lead free outdoor yoga sessions in St. Mary’s Park!

Now the outdoor yoga season has come to an end, but you can still find Nicole teaching classes throughout Baltimore. Per Nicole:

“People can find me at Corepower Yoga (for awesome heated, athletic flows) and Aluma Yoga in Mount Washington and Mainspring Yoga Online Sundays 🙂 and they can follow my antics on Instagram @nicolemespaillat”

All who have attended these sessions know that they have been spectacular, and we of the Seton Hill Association sincerely thank Nicole for her volunteering her time and efforts this summer and fall!
