Removing a 500lb + piece of trash is not an easy feat. Watch how we slowly removed it from the trail over the course of 2 weeks. Without 6 volunteers and over 3 hours of volunteer time this trash would still be sitting in the river. Donate! Mountvernontrail.org/donate

Tomorrow, our event is situated near yet another massive trash trove and we need your help! The ground crinkles as you walk on this sea of plastic. You'll be able to fill 6-7 or 67 bags in no time! Join us to tackle invasive species removal or trash cleanup by registering at buff.ly/j6aVXz4

Help us raise money to replace 7 aging and damaged picnic tables along the Mount Vernon Trail. These tables provide much-needed rest stops and gathering spaces for walkers, runners, and cyclists enjoying one of Arlington's most popular outdoor destinations.

Watch us pile 2,456 pounds of trash in under 1 minute. This monumental task wouldn't have been possible without the help of our cargo bike fleet! @bunchbike.com @ternbicycles.com

We used 300+ bags for this trash cleanup. Donate to help us replenish our stock: mountvernontrail.org/donate/
