Host an Earth Day neighborhood cleanup for your little piece of earth 

Many people outside surrounding a pile of dirty piles retrieved from the area.

Host an Earth Day cleanup in your neighborhood on Saturday, April 26, the same day the Anacostia Watershed Society is doing its cleanups to protect the Anacostia River. This year’s cleanups will have a special focus on beverage bottles and cans, as we push to pass a bottle deposit program in the District, to remove trash from our neighborhoods and rivers. 

Any group can host a cleanup: ANCs, neighborhood organizations, even you and a few neighbors. 

The Mayor’s Office of the Clean City will provide you with the tools you need and will haul away the trash you collect. But you must send in your form by April 12.
