Six weeks and still no trash and #recycle bins. @DCDPW says the city is out of them and are expected “any day now.” That was two weeks ago. Help, @ANC5A @MurielBowser. I know our city can do better. #TrashFreeDC #TogetherWeWill #CleanCityDC #NoRodents nitter.gq/balvrz/status/98847612…
Hi, @DCDPW: We recently bought a house with no #recycle or trash bins on site. Submitted request over four weeks ago. Approved 3/22. What gives? We want to be a part of #ZeroWasteDC, but difficult when we don't have bins and it's windy. Help, please!
