From ANC 4B

Join neighbors, community associations, main streets, schools, local businesses, and Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners for community cleanups across the neighborhood over spring break week: April 13th – April 21st. Join one cleanup or all of them, and collect prizes along the way!

In addition to cleaning litter, we will share details on how to submit 311 requests for city services, support our local schools and small businesses, and build community along the way.

All are welcome! There is no need to bring anything – we will have supplies on hand. This is a great event for local students looking for community service hours.

Last year we picked up over 150 bags of litter! And this year we hope to pick up even more.
