Volunteer for the 25th Annual Potomac River Watershed Cleanup

Saturday, April 6, 9 – 11 a.m.

Every little bit helps.

The City’s Transportation and Environmental Services (T&ES), Office of Environmental Quality (OEQ) and Solid Waste Division, in conjunction with the Alice Ferguson Foundation,  is  hosting sites in Alexandria at Four Mile Run Park.  Families, scouts, students, retirees, and thousands of other concerned citizens will hit the shorelines, neighborhood parks, community streets, and schoolyards of the region to clean up local streams in the Potomac River Watershed.
The Alice Ferguson Foundation created the watershed-wide cleanup in 1989 and has overseen the collection of well over 5 million pounds of trash.
The City is hosting two sites on Four Mile Run:

• End of 3700 Commonwealth Avenue
• 4109 Mt. Vernon Avenue
