Join us for the 2022 #EUBeachCleanup!

This year's cleanup—hosted in partnership with Anacostia Riverkeeper—will take place at the Kenilworth Park Bandalong Litter Trap in NE Washington, D.C., on Saturday, September 17th from 9:00am-12:00pm.

We invite you to bring your friends and families to join us for a morning of cleanup along the river. All ages and abilities are welcome, including children!

All cleanup supplies will be provided, including trash bags, gloves, and grabbers.

WHERE TO MEET

Using Google Maps or Waze, navigate to “Kenilworth Park Bandalong Litter Trap." Please note that this location is not the same as the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. It is located near the soccer field in the back of Kenilworth park.
Free parking

ACCESSIBILITY

The area around the Kenilworth Park Bandalong Litter Trap has some rough terrain and potholes that may not be suitable for electric wheelchairs. Depending on how recently the fields have been mowed, there also may be some tall grass that would make navigation via wheelcheel challenging.

BIKING

We encourage you to bike to the park via the Anacostia River Trail. On route to the park you can enjoy the breeze, watch for deer grazing along the trail, and be on the lookout for bald eagles soaring overhead. Following the cleanup, we encourage you to visit Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens (a separate location Northeast of the litter trap).

WHAT TO WEAR

Volunteers should dress appropriately for the weather on the day of the event and are required to wear closed-toed shoes.
We recommend wearing sturdy shoes such as hiking boots or sneakers, long socks, and pants that will protect from brush (and that you don't mind getting dirty).
Please wear an EU shirt and hat if you have one! Hats will be provided for those who would like one.

BRING

Volunteers should bring a refillable water bottle. Water filling station will be provided. Porta potties are also available.
We also recommend bringing hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
