Earth Day Cleanup
April 26, 2025
About Earth Day
Started by DC native Howard Gasaway of Seafarers Yacht Club in 1985, the annual Anacostia River Earth Day Cleanup is AWS's largest annual volunteer event and one of the largest single-day volunteer events in the DMV. This year, thousands of volunteers from around the watershed picked up trash, served our community, and enjoyed the Anacostia River. Read our 2024 Earth Day Cleanup After Action Report to see the amazing work accomplished by our volunteers, site leaders, sponsors, and government partners.
This year's Earth Day Cleanup will be held on Saturday, April 26th from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Volunteer registration is open
