Thanks to those who passed on their good news yesterday: “After weeks of radio silence DPW has finally announced which households have been selected to participate in the curbside compost pilot!!!”
From DPW:
“Congratulations! We are pleased to share that your household has been selected to participate in the Department of Public Works (DPW) Curbside Composting Pilot Program.
Next Steps:
1. Review Your Welcome Packet. Attached you will find a digital Welcome Packet that provides more information about the Curbside Composting Pilot Program and best practices. A hard copy of the packet will be mailed to your home in the coming weeks.
2. Receive Your Starter Kit. Your starter kit will be delivered to your home no later than one week before collection begins. Your starter kit will include:
· One 5-gallon screw-top curbside collection container
· One 1.9-gallon kitchen caddy
· 100 Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certified compostable bags
· Information about your collection start date
3. Start Collecting Food Waste. Your household will receive free, weekly collection of food waste from DPW. Your collection start date will be provided in your starter kit and through an email notification.
The Curbside Composting Pilot Program is an important step in reaching the District’s zero waste goals. The District will use this pilot program to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of providing curbside food waste collection services to all households that receive DPW trash and recycling services.
Thank you for your participation and commitment to building a Zero Waste DC!”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
