Find your collection schedule
Most households follow a once-a-week trash collection schedule. Use our Trash and Recycling Collection Day App to find your collection day(s).
Trash and Recycling Collection Updates
Trash, recycling, and food waste collections continue throughout the District. If your trash or recycling is not collected on your scheduled day, please leave your bins out, as missed collections will be prioritized the following day. If materials have not been collected within two days, residents should report the issue to 311.
Stay Prepared for Winter Weather
Winter weather can create challenges. Snow hauling and cleanup operations remain active, including moving snowcrete out of neighborhoods to support safe, clear streets.
Holiday Tree & Greenery
The DC Department of Public Works (DPW) will collect holiday trees and greenery between January 2 and February 28 from DPW-serviced households. Learn more about this year’s holiday tree and greenery collection.
