Recycling

Recycle your plastic and aluminum beverage containers on any weekend of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The National Park Service has partnered with the Environmental Protection Agency to provide "Recyling on the Go." Recylcing receptacles will be placed throughout the Tidal Basin area for your convenience.

To learn more about recycling every day, visit one of three “Recycling on the Go” Stations open Saturdays and Sundays 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the festival. Volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions and recycle your plastic and aluminum beverage containers. Stations will be located at the west side of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, west of the Tidal Basin Inlet Bridge, and adjacent to the Tidal Basin Paddle Boats parking lot.

Please help keep National Mall and Memorial Parks green by recycling your plastic and aluminum beverage containers in the recycling receptacles.
