“Dear PoPville,
When walking my dog on our usual route I noticed two trash cans on the street in Petworth/Brightwood Park had gone missing. Is trash can theft a common thing? Or is there another reason they disappeared? Should I report this to the city?”
The last time we spoke about missing trash cans folks wrote that it was actually D.C. government that is removing them on purpose because they were getting filled up with too much household trash.
