(Washington, DC) The DC Department of Public Works will observe Labor Day, Monday, September 3, and most services will be suspended. However, the Nationals will play home games at Nationals Park beginning August 31, 2012 thru September 9, 2012, and parking regulations in that neighborhood will be enforced daily, including September 3. Vehicles violating these restrictions will be ticketed and towed. Other parking regulations, including expired meters, residential parking and street sweeping, will be suspended for the holiday.

Sanitation services will be suspended for the holiday and will resume Tuesday, September 4.

In once-a-week trash and recycling collection neighborhoods collections will “slide” to the next day, so Monday’s collections will be made Tuesday, Tuesday’s collections will be made Wednesday and so on.
In twice-a-week collection neighborhoods, Monday/Thursday collections will be made Tuesday and Friday and Tuesday/Friday collections will be made Wednesday and Saturday.
Street sweeping will be suspended Monday, September 3 so motorists will not need to move their cars that day.

The Ft. Totten Transfer Station will be closed Monday, September 3 and will reopen Tuesday, September 4 to residents to bring trash, bulk items and recyclables between 1 pm and 5 pm.
