Back to school. Back to learning. Back to keeping DC clean! 📚

As students across the District head back to the classroom, DPW is proud to help the next generation learn what it means to keep our city clean, safe, and beautiful.

From getting up close with our collection trucks to learning about recycling, waste reduction, and environmental responsibility, every lesson can make a difference.

Here’s to a great school year for DC Public Schools and every school in the District! Let’s keep learning, keep caring, and keep our city clean. 🧡

🎨 DC’s story is on the walls!

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, MuralsDC is bringing history, culture, and creativity to neighborhoods across the District.

MuralsDC is working with artists to create new murals in all eight wards, connecting DC’s unique story to this historic national milestone.

From neighborhood landmarks to local legends, each mural gives residents another reason to look up, look around, and celebrate what makes DC special.

📺 Check out NBC4’s Tommy McFly for a closer look at the murals and the artists bringing them to life.
