🍁 Twice the collection, twice the opportunity to turn leaves into something useful!
DPW provides two leaf collections per season for every eligible household. Those leaves don’t go to waste. They’re transformed locally into quality aged mulch that DC residents can pick up for FREE in the spring!

Leaf collection starts November 2. Check your schedule at https://t.co/N80Uoeh8Ig, download the MyDPW app, and follow us for updates.

Keeping DC clean means taking action to reduce rat activity! DPW has been piloting enclosed BigBelly litter cans, expanding Food Waste Smart Bins across all eight wards, educating businesses on proper waste management, and holding persistent violators accountable.

Through continued coordination with the DC Department of Health, we’re working to keep DC’s neighborhoods cleaner and healthier.

Unfortunately, our 96‑gallon containers are temporarily out of stock. The good news is that additional units have already been ordered. Regrettably, there is no estimated time of arrival we can provide at this moment for a delivery date. Once the shipment is received and the containers are assembled, we will begin fulfilling requests in the order they were submitted.

@musserryan @311DCgov Thank you for bringing this to our attention. A parking enforcement officer has been assigned.

These efforts help prevent clogged storm drains, protect our waterways, and turn fallen leaves into valuable compost.
