DC Department of Public Works

🚛🎉 Truck Touch 2026 was a huge success!  Thank you to our incredible agency partners who helped make it all happen. @dcfireems, @DCPoliceDept, @DCDPR, @DOEE_DC, and so many others showed up in a big way to create meaningful experiences for residents of all ages. We’re also grateful to every staff member, volunteer, and team working behind the scenes to make this event seamless, and to everyone who came out and made the day so special.  We’re already looking forward to next year! 🚛🎉

@jmvazquezjr @PoPville Good afternoon, did you submit a service request for the missed collection?

@DCDPW @PoPville We had a good run for a few weeks and then no recycling pickup today in Adams-Morgan. As an added bonus we get to lug back in other people’s trash that they stuffed into our recycling bins.

Nearly two decades later, thousands of parents & kids show up to Truck Touch, making tons of noise & creating much joy. That phone call 18 years ago aged pretty well! Thanks @MayorBowser @DDOTDC @DCDPW @DCDPR @DCPoliceDept @dcfireems @DC_HSEMA @dcwater & @DOEE_DC!

Back in 2008, I was a young staffer in the City Administrator’s office under Adrian Fenty when I called then-@DCDPW Director Bill Howland with an idea: Could we park some trucks at RFK and let kids climb on them? A dozen trucks, and couple hundred kids, turned up the first year.

🚛🎉 Truck Touch 2026 is wrapping up, but the excitement isn’t over! ⚡🏁 The EV Grand Prix continues until 4 PM, so there’s still time to catch the action.
