(Washington, DC) The Department of Public Works is collecting trash and recycling, where possible; however, the Tuesday, January 6 snowfall, followed by sub-freezing temperatures Wednesday and Thursday have created conditions in some neighborhoods that are too dangerous for collection crews to work. Therefore, DPW is asking residents whose trash and/or recycling collections are not made this week to hold these items until their next collection day.
