The Department of Public Works (DPW) Office of Waste Diversion is developing the Zero Waste DC Plan in pursuit of the Mayor’s Zero Waste goal of diverting 80 percent of the District’s waste away from landfills and incineration by 2032. We need input from YOU to help us develop programs and policies to reach this ambitious goal.

Starting August 1, DPW invites DC residents to attend virtual community engagement events to voice their concerns, share their ideas, and help us build a Zero Waste future. There will be one meeting for each of the District’s eight wards, one for the business community, and one for the government.
