Spring Operations
Spring is in the air, and our crews are shifting gears! We’re gearing up for comprehensive spring services—street sweeping and ground maintenance—to keep our neighborhoods clean, safe, and beautiful. Thank you for your continued support during this seasonal transition!
MuralsDC serves as a compliment to DPW’s mission to clean and beautify the nation’s capital. Since its pilot in 2007, MuralsDC has painted nearly 150 murals in every ward of the city–more than any other entity in the District. While most of the artists are local, the program has worked with artists across the country & around the world, creating some of the most engaging and photographed murals in the region.
DPW Special Waste Collection Events
The Department of Public Works (DPW) hosts Special Waste Collection Events, which are your chance to safely recycle electronics, dispose of hazardous waste, and shred documents. Residents can reserve their 15-minute spot for quick, easy drop-off! Open to DC residents only—bring proof of residency. No commercial waste allowed. Let’s keep DC clean together!
