“The Bowser Administration, led by the Department of Public Works (DPW), announces that Christmas trees and holiday greenery will be collected between Tuesday, January 3 and Friday, March 3 from the front of residences that receive DPW services. Items collected during this period will be composted.

Trees and greenery are typically collected by DPW crews within five days of set out. After March 3, composting is not guaranteed for trees and greenery because they are then collected with residential trash. Using the tree and greenery collection service during this eight-week period will reduce the amount of such materials in landfills.

Residents can also drop their Christmas trees and/or holiday greenery at one of two locations from January 3, 2023, through March 3, 2023:

• Benning Road Transfer Station (3200 Benning Road NE)

• Guy Mason Recreation Center (3600 Calvert Street NW)”
