I have spoken with Cara Meltzer, she lives in Chevy Chase, Md. The
handymen were working on her mother's house in AU Park. They are
going to do some work on my house today and I'll let the listserve
know how it goes. So far I have been very happy with them.

DPW ISSUES NEW "SLIDE GUIDE" ILLUSTRATING
TRASH/RECYCLING HOLIDAY COLLECTION SCHEDULE
Guide Shows Residents When Collections Will Be Made After a Holiday

Washington, DC – District residents who receive trash and recycling
collection services from the Department of Public Works will receive
the new "Slide Guide" explaining when these collections will be made
following holidays observed by DC government. The Slide Guide is a
postcard, being mailed to each residence DPW serves. It lists the
2007 holidays between Emancipation Day, April 16, and Christmas Day,
December 25, and shows residents when their trash and recycling will
be collected after the holiday.

"Every week, we collect from 110,000 households, and when a holiday
occurs, trash and recycling collections `slide' to the next day," said
DPW Director William O. Howland, Jr. "We created the Slide Guide to
illustrate the slide to the next day so residents see when trash and
recycling collections will resume after the holiday."

Approximately, 75 percent of DPW's collections customers receive
once-a-week service, while residents of the older neighborhoods
receive twice-a-week collections because the streets and alleys are
very narrow. For example, in once-a-week collection neighborhoods, if
a holiday occurs on a Monday, Monday's collections will be made
Tuesday, Tuesday's collections will be made Wednesday, and so on.
Collections will be completed Saturday when crews collect from
residences where the normal collection day is Friday. In
Monday/Thursday twice-a-week neighborhoods, if a holiday falls on a
Monday, collections will be made on Tuesday and Thursday's collections
will be made on Friday. In Tuesday/Friday twice-a-week neighborhoods,
if a holiday falls on a Monday, normal collections will be made on
Tuesday and Friday's collections will be made on Saturday.

The Slide Guide has been translated into Spanish and will be
distributed through DPW and the DC Office of Latino Affairs. This
information will be made available in Amharic, Korean, Chinese and
Vietnamese upon request by calling 202.727.1000, the Mayor's Citywide
Call Center, where residents may call about these and other DPW
services as well as those provided by other DC government agencies.

The English and Spanish PDFs of the guide can be
seen on the DPW Web site -- www.dpw.dc.gov.
