    Food Waste Drop Off

    Metadata Updated: March 18, 2025

    The locations of farmers' markets and unstaffed Smart Bin participating in the Department of Public Works' (DPW) Food Waste Drop-Off program. District residents may drop off food waste at these locations during the designated hours, which will then be converted to compost. DPW seeks to host one drop-off location for each ward, although this is subject to change from year to year and based on the seasonality of farmers' markets. Unstaffed Smart Bins must use the MetroKey App or use access code to access the unit.

    Layer was compiled by the Office of Planning based on DPW's public listing of drop-off sites. Due to the frequent changing of these locations for farmers' market seasonal openings and closings, check DPW's website at https://zerowaste.dc.gov/foodwastedropoff for the most up-to-date locations.
