No Street Sweeping or Trash Collection on Emancipation Day April 16

The DC Department of Public Works will observe Emancipation Day, Tuesday, April 16. The result will be changes to trash collection and street sweeping.

There will be no street sweeping on Tuesday. Regular street sweeping will resume on Wednesday, April 17.

Street Sweeping Resumes March 4

Heads up, car owners and vehicle operators: DC’s Residential Street Sweeping Season gets underway once again beginning March 4.  Signs are posted that identify the days of the week and hours of the day when parking restrictions will be enforced so the sweepers can clean the streets effectively.

Parking enforcement of residential sweeping violations will begin Monday, March 11, to give motorists a few days to get used to the parking restrictions.  Tickets for violations will run you $30–and that doesn’t count the cost of your car being towed, if you are so unfortunate.  Street sweeping season continues through October 31.

Street Sweeping Ends for the Season

Street sweeping ended on Halloween for the season. So for those of you who have vehicles on the street, you can rest easier about having to move them for street sweeping until March. Thanks to everyone who cooperated during this season to make street sweeping so effective in light of the changes in the days of the week and the hours of street sweeping operations.
