DPW Issues 2003 Holiday Trash and Recycling Collection Schedule

Wednesday, November 26, 2003

Thanksgiving
In observance of Thanksgiving Day, there will be no street sweeping, parking enforcement, booting and towing, littercan service or trash and recyclables service on Thursday, November 27. Services resume on Friday. All trash and recyclables collection will slide one day. In other words, Thursday's trash and recyclables will be collected on Friday and Friday's collection will be made on Saturday. However, leaves will be vacuumed as usual.

Christmas
In observance of Christmas Day, there will be no street sweeping, parking enforcement, booting and towing, littercan service, leaf vacuuming or trash and recyclables service on Thursday, December 25, 2003. Services will resume Friday. DPW's trash and recyclables collection schedule for the remainder of the week will slide one day.

New Year's Day
In observance of New Year's Day, there will be no street sweeping, parking enforcement, booting and towing, leaf vacuuming, littercan service or trash and recyclables service on Thursday, January 1, 2004. Services resume on Friday. All trash and recyclables collection will slide one day.

Residents who normally receive DC trash collection service are encouraged to put holiday trees v without ornaments or tinsel - in curbside tree boxes by January 4, 2004. Trees will be picked up during a special one-week collection from January 5 - 10, 2004. Residents who wish to keep their trees longer should put them out at their normal point of trash collection (curbside or alley) after January 10. Trash trucks will then collect the trees with the regular trash, as space in trucks permit over the following weeks.
