[WardFive] DPW To Collect Residential Trash/Recycling Starting at 6 AM For Remainder of Week

DPW To Collect Residential Trash/Recycling Starting at 6 AM, for Remainder of Week, May 30-June 1, Due to High Temperatures

 

The DC Department of Public Works announced today that its trash and recycling crews will begin their collections an hour earlier, at 6 am, for the remainder of the week, Thursday - Saturday, May 30 - June 1, due to predicted 90° and above temperatures and unhealthy air quality (Code Orange reported by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments).  Residents may put their trash and recyclables out for pick-up starting at 6 pm on the day before their collections.  Trash and recycling containers should be removed from public space by 8 pm on the collection day.

 

Throughout the summer, when the temperature and heat index are predicted to be 90˚ or higher or the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments announces unhealthy air quality (Code Orange or Code Red days), DPW collection crews will begin their work at 6 am to avoid health or environmental issues.
