This just in: DCPS will open on a 2-hour delay for Monday, Feb. 2.

Hello Neighbors:

We have important updates on DPW’s plan for trash and recycling collection this week. 

The normal DPW collection schedule will resume tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 2, for frontside collection households. 

• If your trash and recycling are usually picked up on Mondays from the front of your home, your trash and recycling will be picked up Monday. If your trash and recycling are usually picked up on Tuesdays from the front of your home, your trash and recycling will be picked up on Tuesday, and so on for the remainder of the week. 

Alley collection households should put your trash and recycling bins out as best as possible on their regular day and leave the bins out until they have been collected. 

• DPW continues to work around the clock to clear paths in alleys for collection.  

For all households: If your trash and recycling do not get collected on your regular collection day, please leave it out and DPW will prioritize for pick up the following day. If it still has not been picked up after two days, report it to 311. 

DPW will collect trash and recycling together this week.  

Curbside food waste collection will also resume tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 2. 

• Collections this week will be on the regular schedule. Residents with back or side alley food waste collection are encouraged to put their food waste bin in the front at the curb, if they are able, to support safe and efficient service while crews work through weather impacts. 

• All food waste smart bins are operational and being serviced. 

Check the DPW website for updates. 

Thank you to our hardworking DPW crews for your efforts this weekend.
