Public Space Recycling 


DPW, in partnership with the Capitol Hill and Downtown DC Business Improvement Districts (BID), began two public space recycling pilot programs in 2008. There are six recycling cans in the Capitol Hill BID and 25 in the Downtown DC BID, which are blue and are co-located with trash receptacles. These initiatives target busy commercial areas where significant amounts of recyclable materials are being deposited in trash receptacles and entering the waste stream. The containers, which have signage indicating they are for recycling only, will accept paper, aluminum cans, and plastic and glass bottles.
