(Washington, DC)  The DC Department of Public Works announced today that its trash and recycling crews will begin their collections an hour earlier, at 6 am, Tuesday, July 2 due to predicted 90°+ temperatures.

DPW will observe Independence Day, July 4, so Friday’s collections “slide” to Saturday, July 5.  Residents may put their trash and recyclables out for pick-up starting at 6:30 pm the day before their collections.  Trash and recycling containers should be removed from public space by 8 pm on the collection day.

Throughout the summer, when the temperature is predicted to be 90˚ or higher or the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments announces unhealthy air quality (Code Orange or Code Red days), DPW collection crews will begin their work at 6 am to avoid health or environmental issues.
