Mission

District Cleanups’s mission is to instill pride and ownership of our collective communities through the removal of trash and frequent engagement with District of Columbia residents.

About

We firmly believe in the power of volunteers to have a positive impact on the people and environments around them

The District Cleanups vision is to exist in a world where routine cleanups aren't necessary. In pursuit of that vision, we recognize that there's more to an ideal community than one without noticeable litter. Community ownership is also a reflection of social interaction and a collective desire to keep our communities safe and welcoming for those who pass through them. Through monthly cleanup events, we aim to build stronger and better connected communities.
