Celebrate DC’s story through public art!
The DC250 Mural Project will bring eight new murals to iconic locations across the District, with one mural in each ward. Created by DC-based artists, each piece will reflect the history, identity and spirit of the community it represents.
Summer Collection Hours
To beat the heat, DPW collection crews will start earlier than normal! Through September, trash, recycling, and food waste collection crews will start at 5:30 AM to avoid dangerous temperatures. Residents can set their cans out beginning at 6 PM the night before their scheduled collection.
The Fort Totten Transfer Station is currently out of mulch.
We’ll share updates as soon as mulch is restocked. In the meantime, residents can still drop off yard waste or take advantage of other services at the site
Spring Operations
DPW continues to deliver our comprehensive spring services—from street sweeping to ground maintenance—to keep our neighborhoods clean, safe, and beautiful. Please note that the Fort Totten Transfer Station is currently out of mulch.
