(WASHINGTON, DC) The Department of Public Works announced today how services will be affected in observance of Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27.

SANITATION SERVICES

Trash and Recycling Collections: Thursday's trash and recycling collections will "slide" to the next day, Friday, November 27 and Friday's collections will be made Saturday, November 28. 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; otherwise, the property owner may be subject to sanitation enforcement.

Ft. Totten: The Ft. Totten Transfer Station, located at 4900 John F. McCormack Drive, NE, will be closed Thanksgiving Day and Friday, November 27. It will reopen Saturday, November 28, 8 am to 3 pm to DC residents. Under the residential use requirements for Ft. Totten, vehicles with commercial license tags will not be allowed access. Additionally, tag-a-long trailers; stake-body trucks; trucks or rental vehicles longer than 14 feet; and vehicles with side boards, and/or ladders/ladder racks will not be allowed access.

Household Hazardous Waste/E-cycling drop-off is weekly on Saturdays, 8 am to 3 pm. Personal document shredding will remain the first Saturday of the month (except holidays) only. The next shredding drop-off is Saturday, December 5. Additionally, DPW will conduct a monthly weekday HHW/E-cycling drop-off the Thursday before the first Saturday of each month (except holidays). The next Thursday HHW/E-cycling drop-off is Thursday, December 3, 1 pm to 5 pm. For more details about HHW/e-cycling/personal document shredding go to http://dpw.dc.gov/service/household-hazardous-waste-e-cycling-document-shredding.

Directions to Ft. Totten: Travel east on Irving Street, NW, turn left on Michigan Avenue, turn left on John F. McCormack Drive, NE and continue to the end of the street. Directions from additional locations can be found at http://dpw.dc.gov/node/414922.

Leaf Collections: Leaf collections are being made from "Area D" neighborhoods between Monday, November 23 and Saturday, November 28 (including Thanksgiving Day and Friday, November 27). DPW is following the collection schedule published in the leaf collection brochure mailed to households that receive DPW trash/recycling collections. Area D residents should rake their leaves into their treebox by Sunday, November 22 to ensure their leaves are ready when the crews come to collect them November 23 through November 28.

Residents can use DPW's Web site (www.dpw.dc.gov) to view the 2015-2016 leaf collection schedule by selecting Leaf Collection Services. To check the status of leaf collection, click on "Check Leaf Collection Status in Your Neighborhood" (http://leaf.dcgis.dc.gov/) and enter your address.

PARKING ENFORCEMENT SERVICES

Parking Enforcement: Parking meters will not be enforced Thanksgiving Day or Friday, November 27. Residential parking and rush hour lane restrictions also will not be enforced. Safety violations will be enforced Friday, November 27, including double parking, unauthorized parking on private property, and blocking an intersection, alley, driveway, entrance, crosswalk, fire hydrant, or bus stop.

On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27 DPW will enforce streetcar parking restrictions along the H Street/Benning Road, NE corridor. "Blocked" Streetcar Parking Enforcement is daily, including weekends and holidays, e.g., Christmas Day, along H Street and Benning Road, NE, between 3^rd Street and Oklahoma Avenue, NE. On Sundays and holidays enforcement is between 8 am and 11 pm. Enforcement on Mondays-Thursdays is 6 am to midnight; and on Fridays and Saturdays, enforcement runs between 6 am and 2 am.

Gotta Love Kokatat.

Jen,

David Aries has one of the new suits you should see how he likes it

I don't know about the new zippers, but I had my first kotat suit 10 yrs. It started leaking and I couldn't discover the source. Sent it back for leak testing, and got a note from them that the suit was delaminating and what color would I like my new suit as they could not replace in the same as they no longer offered that color. I've had the new suit for 2 years.

Jen,

Kokotat makes incredible gear. I have had my suit for 5 or 6 years and it is still dry. I am not sure about the new zipper system on the Idol. It seems great and I have seen them in person. They look durable but I do not know and have not heard of anyone using the new style zipper suit. My guess is that it is a good buy.

good luck,

stefan

Just bought a Kokat dry suit (Meridian GMER) for my son. Heard very good things about these for women from none other than Charlie Duffy, kayak gear impresario. Same great fabrics as GMER, I believe, with more flexibility, particularly for women. I'd say, "Buy it."

Re: cheat_training_group new dry suit thoughts?

Jen,

I agree with Todd about buying quality fabric. On the other hand, I have patched a dozen pinholes in my Kokatat dry suit whereas the thicker Gortex on my Sweet dry top has been indestructible. I haven't seen one yet, but next go-round I will take a close look at Sweet's dry suits.

Jill, the "buy it for life" reviews and support are only for the gore-tex products. If it were gore-tex, Kokatat would be very, very likely to replace it for free. Much of it has to do with Gore footing the replacement bill if the fabric separates, not Kokatat.

The Kokatat gore-tex dry top equivalent is the Rogue.

Re: cheat_training_group new dry suit thoughts?

Next dry suit I get will be a Kokatat made of Gore-Tex. Right now I have an IR. I only used it for one and a half winters and there were 4 holes in it. I am not impressed with the quality. IR did provide great customer service and fixed them right away. On the other hand, I would prefer to not have to deal with customer service and have a dry suit that does not get holes in it.

Just bought a Kokat dry suit (Meridian GMER) for my son. Heard very good things about these for women from none other than Charlie Duffy, kayak gear impresario. Same great fabrics as GMER, I believe, with more flexibility, particularly for women. I'd say, "Buy it."

Dear Friends,

Okay, i'm ready to take the "buy a new dry suit" plunge - after extensive quizzing of my friends, checking websites, etc. Here is my choice - before I order it, any last advice, re-thinking, warnings, etc? Thumbs up or down? Yay or nay?

I am planning to get a Men's small. GORE-TEX® Idol Dry Suit with SwitchZip Technology.
