[WardFive] How to Recycle Holiday Trees & Greenery in DC

How to Recycle Holiday Trees & Greenery in DC

 

DPW Provides Residents with Two Convenient Options for Recycling Their Christmas Trees

 

With the holiday season coming to a close, thousands of DC residents will be looking for an environmentally friendly way to dispose of their holiday trees and greenery. The DC Department of Public Works (DPW) is pleased to provide District residents with two easy options for having their holiday trees and greenery recycled (no artificial trees).

 

“Under Mayor Bowser’s leadership, the District has set the goal of diverting 80% of our city’s waste from landfills and waste-to-energy facilities,” said DPW Director Christopher Shorter. “Providing residents with convenient ways to compost their Christmas trees and holiday greenery is just one of the many ways we’re working to make DC a cleaner and greener city.”

 

The first option is for residents to bring their trees and greenery, free of charge, to either of the District’s transfer stations. The Fort Totten Transfer Station is located at 4900 John F. McCormack Drive, NE, and the Benning Road Transfer Station is located at 3200 Benning Road, NE.

 

The second option, also free of charge, is for residents to put their trees and greenery out where their trash and recyclables are normally collected between January 14 and February 2. Trees placed out after February 2 will be picked up as space in our trucks permit, but will not be composted. This collection service is only available to residents who are serviced by DPW. DPW collects trash and recyclables from single-family homes and apartment/condo buildings with three or fewer living units.

 

Regardless of which option residents choose, all ornaments and lights should be removed from the tree. Residents are also asked not to bag their trees or greenery.

 

As a reminder, DPW provides DC residents with up to five 32-gallon bags (bring your own bags) of free compost weekdays, 1 pm to 5 pm, and Saturdays 8 am to 3 pm, at the Fort Totten Transfer Station.

 

Have a safe and happy New Year!

Kevin

Re: cheat_training_group Spring Cheat Training

Have fun guys. I regret that while my orthopedic surgeon will allow me to paddle again starting in March I'll have to start with flat water only. I may be up for a fun trip down the Cheat by Maybut  I certainly won't be race training.

See you on the river this spring,
Mark

Hey Cheat Trainers,

Just want to let you know Cheat Registration opens Jan 2nd! As you probably know from last year, some of the programs do fill up quickly so registering on the 2nd is advised. 

Because logistics are more complicated for Cheat Elite, we are only opening up one section (15 students) this year, led by Bobby Miller. If you are interested in Cheat Elite, please register for the regular Cheat group on 1/2/19 and then send me an email stating your intention to paddle with Cheat Elite (and do 2 runs on the canyon!). We will take the first 15 elite-level paddlers to register. 

You should have received the email blast, below, with info about each program and a link to the webpage for more info. 

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you will be able to join us again for the cold weather, high water, long slogs that we all love so much. 

Happy New Year!

  • Leaf collections will not be made on either holiday.

 

There will be no parking enforcement on Christmas Day (December 25) or on New Year's Day (January 1), with one exception.
