DPW Statement Regarding Holiday Tree Collections
Contact: Linda Grant, 202-671-2375
(Washington, DC) “DPW is making every effort to collect and recycle holiday trees; however, we have had to suspend these collections several times this month so the tree collection crews can be available to tackle predicted snow and ice storms. As a result, trees are piling up in treeboxes, alleys, even medians and creating public safety hazards.
