The "Golden" Rule

We were founded on the principal of “better service for our community.” Service and philanthropy have always been and will always be very important to us. The words "Tikun olam - Repair the world," are written on every truck we own so as to be a constant reminder to us that it is our responsibility to help make the world a better place.

Besides coaching Special Olympics, Barney Shapiro, "Head Honcho" of Tenleytown Trash, is a “Gold” Sponsor. Barney is pictured below with Pam Yerg, Director of Montgomery County Special Olympics, at the  Montgomery County Special Olympics Annual Gold Tournament.

DCPCS: Let's Recycle!

Click here for brochure
Check out our brochure that details the new program here.As former educators ourselves, we know how busy school administrators are operating our schools. Recycling may be something they want to do, but with everything else on their plate, we realize it often takes a back seat to maintaining a high functioning public charter school. With the introduction of Tenleytown Trash’s, CBE Certified, DCPCS Recycling Program, our aim is to make the act of recycling as easy as possible for our DC Public Charter Schools. 

We have experience working with DC public charter schools, including Capital City, Mundo Verde and Next Step, and we are excited at the potential of working with more through this new program.  

Check out our brochure that details the new program here.  You will see that it offers 

-Quick, easy and affordable solutions to recycling,
-A student scholarship program, and
-An optional guest lecture about the importance of recycling, customized for any age group.

Happy Fourth of July!


Happy Fourth of July, everyone!  Check out this beautiful flag made by children out of recycled materials.  Saving our environment, teaching kids about sustainability, and celebrating our country all at the same time.

We found it from Cool Mom Picks, as a project for America Recycles Day.  Check them out here.

We are Tenleytown Trash

We are Tenleytown Trash, Washington, DC’s only locally owned and operated, CBE certified waste management and recycling company. We offer a variety of services for every waste management need, and specialize in having equipment designed specifically for DC’s narrow streets and slender alleyways. We are your neighbors. Founded by lifetime Washingtonian, Barney Shapiro, what started out of the back of his pick-up truck in the mid 90s, is now one of the dominant, full-service waste management companies in town.
