Community Cleanup
Community Cleanup
Join our social cleanups! We're collaborating with Eckington Civic Association for our May 20 cleanup.
You'll be amazed what a tiny handful of neighbors armed with trash bags and grabbers can accomplish in a couple of hours. Meet your neighbors and help make our neighborhood more beautiful. If you want to clean on your own time, contact us and we can give you supplies. Every little bit helps keep Eckington beautiful! For neighbors on the volunteer path to membership, or D.C. high school students, cleanup hours count toward required volunteer hours! Submit your Volunteer Hours Tracking Form for credit. Tag us on social media so we can expand our crew (@EckingtonParks).
