The District of Columbia has published a "Conventional Trash Days" dataset on its Open Data DC portal that lists routine curbside trash collection days by address, according to the city's open data site. The dataset is presented in a machine‑readable format intended for public download and reuse.
The dataset provides a standardized way to identify which day of the week residential trash is scheduled at specific addresses and is hosted on the city’s official open data platform, Open Data DC. City staff and outside developers can use the file for mapping, service planning, neighborhood communications and to build consumer-facing tools that help residents track collection schedules.
Open Data DC is the District’s official repository
Open Data DC is the District’s official repository for machine‑readable government datasets; agencies publish operational data there to increase transparency and support civic technology projects. Making conventional trash days available in that format reduces friction for third‑party apps, community groups and researchers who analyze local refuse service patterns or integrate schedules into neighborhood services.
The dataset joins other sanitation and public‑works resources the city maintains, and it can be downloaded directly from the portal for use under the platform’s reuse terms. The city did not attach a specific implementation timeline for integrating the data into 311 or other resident services on the portal page.
## Why it matters to DC Public, machine‑readable trash schedules make daily life easier for residents, and they give planners and local tech builders reliable data to improve sanitation services and neighborhood communications across DC.
