Individual Trash Clean-up

IMG_1746.JPG

We can’t have a community trash clean-up event, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t any trash.

So - introducing INDIVIDUAL TRASH CLEAN-UPS for the Little Falls Parkway, creek and surrounding areas.

HOW TO DO AN INDIVIDUAL (OR FAMILY) CLEANUP:

  • Grab a bag and some gloves from one of our stations on the Little Falls Parkway

    • Massachusetts Avenue and Little Falls Parkway

    • Dorset Avenue at Little Falls Parkway

  • Pick a spot - the creek needs cleaning as well as the parkway and the Capital Crescent Trail. You could even do the Willett Avenue Neighborhood Park or any trash hot spot really!

  • Take pictures.

  • Brag about your accomplishments. After you clean up, send a picture and record of how many bags you filled to info@LFWA.org

  • Leave your bags by one of the Park receptacles. There are cans at the intersection of Mass Ave and Little Falls, at the Bethesda Pool, on the Capital Crescent Trail by the River Road Bridge and at the intersection of Dorset and Little Falls.

  • BE SAFE: above all else, follow the guidelines for social distancing and outdoor activities.

We ask all participants to observe the CDC health and safety guidelines as as well as current local public health orders, and for anyone experiencing symptoms or caring for someone with symptoms to stay home and take care of yourself!   

Pre-approved for MCPS SSL hours. Contact us at info@LFWA.org for information on how to get your hours.
