DPW Continues Collecting Trash/Recycling Starting at 6 AM, Through Fri., June 28
The DC Department of Public Works announced today that its trash and recycling crews will begin their collections an hour earlier, at 6 am, Tuesday, June 25-Friday, June 28, due to predicted 90° and above temperatures. The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments air quality forecast for Wednesday, June 26 is Code Orange (unhealthy for sensitive groups). Residents may put their trash and recyclables out for pick-up starting at 6 pm 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.
