DPW to Observe Memorial Day, Monday, May 27
Sanitation and Most Parking Enforcement Will be Suspended for the Day
The DC Department of Public Works (DPW) will observe Memorial Day, Monday, May 27; therefore, sanitation services and most parking enforcement will be suspended and will resume on Tuesday, May 28.
- Trash and recycling collections will "slide" to the next day for the remainder of the week into Saturday. For example, households that normally receive trash/recycling collections on Monday will be serviced Tuesday.
- The Fort Totten and Benning Road transfer stations will be closed on the holiday, reopening the following day.
- DPW will not enforce parking meters, residential parking, rush hour lane restrictions or tow abandoned vehicles Monday, May 27, except along the streetcar line and in the area surrounding Nationals Park for Monday's baseball game.
- The Blue Plains Impoundment Lot will be closed on the holiday, reopening the following day.
"Blocked" Streetcar Parking Enforcement is daily, including weekends and holidays, along H Street and Benning Road, NE, between 3rd Street and Oklahoma Avenue, NE. The hours of enforcement are concurrent with the streetcar schedule. Normal enforcement citywide resumes Tuesday, May 28.
DPW provides essential city services in two distinct program areas: environmental services/solid waste management and parking enforcement. Both contribute to making District streets and public spaces clean, safe, attractive and accessible for all residents, businesses, commuters and visitors.

This Saturday: Free Kitchen Caddies and Compost Soil Samples
In recognition of International Compost Awareness Week, the Department of Public Works (DPW) will be offering free kitchen caddies and compost soil samples at food waste drop-off locations this Saturday, May 11. The caddies and compost will be available to the first 50 participants at each location. Find open locations HERE.
Since Mayor Bowser launched the food waste drop-off program in 2017, the District has collected more than 527,916 pounds of organics from more than 83,584 participants in all eight wards. Food waste is the single largest component going into landfills, and landfills are the third largest source of methane in the U.S., according to the USDA. Diverting food waste from landfills and turning it into compost contributes to a greener and healthier planet.
Have a great weekend,
Kevin
