DC DPW leaf season collections update dated 01-03-2018; reminder that Christmas trees are to be put in the alley, where recyclables go

Can you put this into your daily email, particularly the part about Christmas trees?

People continually put them out at the curb, when, according to this, they are to be put where recyclables go, which would be in the alley. Thanks!

*As a reminder, residents should put their Christmas trees and holiday greenery out where their trash and recycling is collected between January 13 and February 2. Holiday trees and greenery will be collected on residents’ regularly scheduled recycling days during this period. Trees should only be placed at the curb if that is where their recyclables are normally collected. This collection service is only available to residents who are serviced by DPW. DPW collects trash and recyclables from single-family homes and apartment/condo buildings with three or fewer living units.

an updated leaf collection schedule by ward

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/DCWASH/bulletins/1d07b77

Dear Resident,

Please see our weekly updated leaf collection schedule below. Please be aware, our leaf crews work as part of the District’s Snow Team, and our equipment is also used for both. As such, whenever we deploy for snow (including pretreating roads), our leaf operations are put on pause. This process includes breaking down our trucks, equipping them for snow operations, and then the same thing in reverse after the snow deployment.

With the forecast calling for at least one inch of snow late tonight, the DC Snow Team will be pretreating all District roads overnight ahead of the morning commute. We expect to return to leaf collection operations once deployment has ended and our personnel and equipment can be safely reassigned. Please share this information with your friends and neighbors and check snow.dc.gov. for the latest on the winter weather event.

Below you will find the latest update, as of January 3, 2018, to the leaf collection schedule by ward.

Ward 1: Completed sections A, B & C. Currently in section D, then we expect to finish the rest of the ward with one additional day.
