@JHWeissmann Could you please send us your address via direct message so we can look into the missed trash collection? We apologize for the inconvenience

OK, it's come to this: @DCDPW has now missed trash collection on my street for 4 weeks in a row now. I have talked to customer service people at the department at least 4 times (aside from calling 311). Somehow, nothing is working. What will it take to fix this?

DPW was front and center on Capitol Hill today as @APWATWEETS helped bring the message directly to legislators that public works employees are critical responders serving communities every day. Great connecting with so many people during today’s Donuts & Trucks on the Hill event. Special shout-out to Motor Vehicle Operators Nakia Dent and James Simmons, along with the entire DPW team, for proudly representing the District and helping make the event a success.
