A crucial update from the District Department of Public Works: not only are both trash and recycling collections back to their regular schedules this week, but alley collection has actually resumed today as well. Over the weekend, the department decreed that most alleys were still not passable, and asked residents to continue to place their refuse at the curb, but this afternoon, spokesperson Linda Grant let it be known that thanks to a sufficient amount of sun and warmth on Sunday, alley collection is back.

Residents are now being asked to put their trash and recycling containers at their normal point of collection, whether that’s in an alley or at the curb, anytime between 6:30 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. the day of. So don’t be shy, get rid of all those beer bottles you’ve been collecting for the last two weeks.
