SUMMARY:River Terrace Trash Trap Sorting Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Note: This event is weather dependent. If you are sick or exhibiting symptoms associated with COVID-19 (such as fever\, chills\, cough\, sore throat\, difficulty breathing\, loss of taste or smell\, etc.)\, please do not come to the event and consider joining us another time.  \nDate: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026\nTime: 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm \nMeeting Location: We will be meeting on location at the historic Bostwick House. It is located at 3901 48th St. in Bladensburg\, MD 20710. You can access it from Annapolis Rd\, Kenilworth Ave\, and Quincy St. There is a fence around the property with one\, large gate that will be open. Enter the property at this gate and proceed up the driveway up the hill. Please pull up the driveway as far as you can so others can fit behind you. Click here for a map of the location. \nProject: Since its inception in 1989\, AWS staff and volunteers have removed tons of trash from the Anacostia River each year. Our River Terrace Trash Trap cleanups have been a huge success in helping us to make progress towards our goal for a trash free Anacostia River.  This trash trap catches trash before it ends up in the River!  But our staff can’t manage this trap alone. Volunteers are critical to our plan to collect trash and monitor this trash trap. \nAt the event we will sort trash that has been removed from this trap into 27 categories. We will count the pieces of trash and measure the weight and volume for each category. \nThe data collected from our trash traps has helped to pass the (grocery) bag fee law in DC and brought a ripple effect into Montgomery County; and it has helped to ban the use of Styrofoam food packaging\, etc. in DC\, Montgomery County\, and Prince George’s County. We still need to work on trash items such as beverage bottles\, cans\, and food wrappers\, which is why we need your help! The data you help us collect will be used to educate the public and advocate for a better practice\, such as the Bottle Deposit Bill. \nThis is an excellent opportunity to learn about the trash challenges of the Anacostia and what is being done to address them! \nPhysical Level of Difficulty: Easy to Moderate \nPhysical Requirements: The task requires squatting down for a relatively long time\, and may be physically demanding.  It is not suitable for young children. Participants will be expected to wear closed-toed shoes for the duration of the event. If you think any of the physical requirements will be problematic\, please let us know or consider joining another event. \nRegistration is required. Please register below to receive additional information about the event. \nFor more information before the event\, please contact Emily Castelli at ecastelli2@anacostiaws.org or call 301-699-6204 x103.
