Adopt a Block

Residents, businesses, and the government all play a role in keeping DC clean, safe, and healthy. Only by involving all residents and each community can we create a #TrashFreeDC. Success begins with one neighbor and one community deciding to make a difference. Anyone can participate in the Adopt a Block program - individuals, families, churches, businesses, schools and other groups and organizations. Adopting a block in the District of Columbia has many benefits:

• Improved quality of life in your neighborhood. The appearance of our community contributes to the quality of life we all share.
• Signs with your group's name letting people know you are committed to making a difference.
• Meet your neighbors, strengthen your community connections, and build leadership skills. Become a role model to youth.
• More active communities help discourage rodents and unwanted and illegal activity.
