DPW Resuming Trash Pickup Across D.C. Today

Locals with overflowing garbage cans may start to see some relief today.

The D.C. Department of Public Works (DPW) will resume trash and recycling pickup service and operate on an “altered” schedule through Sunday.

The department originally suspended trash pickup due to last weekend’s snowstorm.

“Normal” trash collection is scheduled to resume next Monday, Feb. 1.

DPW will attempt to collect Thurs., & Fri., trash/recycling collection through Sunday. Please place them at normal collection points.

Thursday: Service attempts will be made.

Friday: Service attempts will be made.

Saturday and Sunday: Possible service attempts on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday routes.
