Baltimore City Department of Public Works, Lewin Avenue Substation

Baltimore City Department of Public Works, Lewin Avenue Substation is the city drop-off on Lewin Avenue where neighbors haul bulk junk, yard waste and regular household loads. People from the surrounding neighborhoods bring cars, pickups and small trailers here. It’s a working yard - not polished - so expect a gritty, industrial feel.

There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up lane where vehicles pull up to unload; larger trucks move around the same space so watch for backing equipment. A scale is common at DPW substations, so plan for an extra stop on the way out. The site has concrete pads, big roll-off containers and piles of material rather than neat bins. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so delays are normal then.
