Zero Waste About SectionWelcome to Zero Waste DCThe District’s one-stop resource on reducing waste, recycling, composting, and special waste handling. What Goes Where?Have you ever been unsure about which items can be recycled, or which items are considered too hazardous to put in your trash bin? With our new “What Goes Where?” tool, we’ve taken the guesswork out. Simply type in the name of the item you have a question about, and information will be provided on how best to dispose of it in the District. *Note: Collection schedules for commercial and multi-family properties with four or more units will not appear in this tool. Check with your waste service provider to find out more. |
District residents can drop off household hazardous waste, unwanted electronic waste, and documents for shredding on one Thursday and one Saturday each month at no cost. HHW and electronic waste should not be put in trash or recycling containers for DPW to collect, nor should they be included with items for bulk trash collection. Help protect DPW employees from being harmed by these potentially toxic items by disposing of them properly.
