Containing Litter and Ensuring Adequate Neighborhood (CLEAN) Collections Amendment Act of 2023

The CLEAN Collections Amendment Act of 2023 updates waste management rules in Washington, D.C., to require private apartment buildings and condos to provide at least 32 gallons of trash storage space per unit and offer collection services twice weekly. It also mandates that the Department of Public Works install public litter containers in residential neighborhoods and conduct a study to create commercial waste zones that limit the number of garbage trucks in specific areas. Additionally, the bill requires the Chief Financial Officer to analyze how tax credits for trash collection affect city revenues and report the costs of these services. These changes directly impact property owners, waste collection companies, and residents by standardizing service levels and improving street cleanliness.
