A Clean Start to Summer

By Janice Sims, BCA Public Works and Beautification Committee

Thank you to our wonderful and motivated volunteers who collected hundreds of cigarette butts, bulk waste items (e.g., furniture, mattresses, appliances, ironing boards, etc.), and assorted litter defiling streets and alleyways. It is amazing what a small group of volunteers can accomplish in two hours!

Special thanks to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for supporting our clean-up efforts as well as Georgetown University’s Office of Neighborhood Life which donated bags, extra gloves, and coordinated with GU Facilities’ solid waste management team during the clean-up. Heaps of gratitude go to GU Facilities’ solid waste professionals for going above and beyond by working into the afternoon to ensure all items were collected from our neighborhood.
