They vary, but 11-1ish is a pretty standard window. We like to end our cleanups with either a happy hour or some kind of social activity. We have a kickball and aren't afraid to...kick it.

Honest recommendation is to just start doing it.
Make a group chat or post on your neighborhood message board - announce when you're going to go pick things up and ask if anyone wants to join you.
We've found that people are generally extremely willing to join other people who are picking things up, but don't "know how" to start on their own - give them an opportunity to join you!

We ask people to bring their own gloves, if they have them, but we provide grabbers, buckets, gloves, and trash bags.

Pretty routine stuff, this go-round. One needle and some pizza boxes.

The Saturday after January 6th, a group of strangers met up in front of the Capitol Building to pick up trash leftover from days prior. After a positive initial reaction, we decided to call it District Cleanups.
We've continued to meet monthly to hold community cleanups. Today's cleanup marks our 2 year anniversary (plus 2 weeks) and our 24th consecutive monthly cleanup. Thank you so much to everyone who comes out to support us - this sub has had a huge role in that!
E: Next cleanup will be February 18th near Howard University!

District Cleanups will be having a community cleanup at Kingman Park this Saturday!
Meet at the intersection of A and 19th St NE at noon! We'll pick up trash for an hour or two then find somewhere to do a happy hour.
Don't need anything but yourselves! We'll supply gloves, grabbers, and bags. See you there!
