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.

The DC Department of Public Works will be observing Memorial Day this Monday, May 27. Practically speaking, this means that trash and recycling collections, street and alley cleanings, and parking enforcement will be suspended until Tuesday, May 28. The one exception, for all you sports fans, is that parking enforcement will still be in effect in the Nationals Stadium neighborhood.
Trash, Recycling Collection
Trash and recycling collections in once-a-week collection neighborhoods will “slide” to the next day for the remainder of the week. In neighborhoods with twice-weekly trash collections, Monday and Thursday collections will be made Tuesday and Friday, and Tuesday and Friday collections will be made Wednesday and Saturday.
Parking Enforcement
Parking regulations will be enforced in the Nationals Stadium neighborhood. Elsewhere, DPW will suspend enforcement of expired meters, residential parking and rush hour lane restrictions. Also, booting, towing and abandoned vehicle removal will be suspended. Enforcement resumes Tuesday, May 28.

The DC Department of Public Works will observe Independence Day, Monday, July 5, 2010. Here’s how DPW services will be affected:
Trash and recycling collections will “slide” one day so Monday’s collections will be made Tuesday, Tuesday’s collections will be made Wednesday, and so on. In twice-a-week neighborhoods, Monday’s and Thursday’s collections will be made Tuesday and Friday, and Tuesday’s and Friday’s collections will be made Wednesday and Saturday. Trash and recycling containers should be placed out for collection no earlier than 6:30 pm the night before collection and removed from public space by 8 pm on the day(s) of collection.
Parking enforcement will be suspended for parking meters, residential parking, and rush hour lane restrictions. It also will suspend towing of abandoned vehicles. Enforcement will occur, however, in the neighborhood surrounding Nationals Park during all Nationals games July 2, 3 and 4.
Other services suspended for the observance of Independence Day include scheduled street and alley cleaning and nuisance abatement. All services will resume Tuesday, July 6, 2010.
Wow. First of I have heard of this new device: the sweepercam. Got an email from DC Department of Public Works regarding the resumption of street sweeping on March 23 (for which I am extremely grateful… our streets are gross in the winter). Starting March 7, DPW will test cameras mounted on its city streetsweepers, which will take photos of cars that are illegally parked on streetsweeping day. The new cameras will be used to help DPW and MPD ticket and tow cars that have not been moved on the appropriate day.
Note to the City Council and Mayor: Now, if you would only worry as much about violent crime on the streets as you do trash…
