The DC Department of Public Works will observe Emancipation Day, Monday, April 17; therefore, sanitation services and parking enforcement will be suspended that day.

SANITATION SERVICES

Trash and Recycling Collections: Trash and recycling collections will “slide” to the next day, for the remainder of the week. This applies to both once-a-week and twice-a-week collection neighborhoods. Trash and recycling containers should be put out for collection no earlier than 6:30 pm the night before collection and removed from public space by 8 pm on the collection day to avoid sanitation enforcement.
