Georgetown’s 2019 Bulk Trash Pick Up and Move Out Donation Drive

Only today left!

From Cory S. Peterson, Director, Office of Neighborhood Life, Georgetown University:

Georgetown’s 2019 bulk trash pick up and move out donation drive (benefiting Keys for the Homeless) began May 1 and continues through the month of May! I’ve attached flyers regarding this year’s program in hopes that you might help share more widely. As you share info, if it’s helpful to have a .jpg instead of a .pdf, please let me know and I can send those to you.

Last year’s Move Out Drive generated $186,000 of in-kind goods and diverted over 56,000 pounds of waste!

Continuing from prior years, community members can fill out an online form to schedule a bulk trash and/or donation pick up and the University will come to their home to collect the items. The link to schedule a pick up day can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/SpringPickUp. Pink tags to place on donations and blue tags to place on bulk trash will be available at the Office of Neighborhood Life – 1300 36th Street, NW. All residents within the zip code 20007 are welcome to participate and ONL staff are available to drop off donation/bulk trash tags as well. Unfortunately, contractor and other commercial enterprise waste will not be picked up.

Hardy Park Clean-Up (and Spring Fling) from May 4, 2019

In case you missed it this year, more than twenty neighbors joined in the effort that was arranged and led by the Friends of Hardy and the FCCA. Here are some shots of some of the workers that day. The following photos are all from Gerald Henderson. Thank you, Gerald!

If you have any images from either the clean-up or Spring Fling portion of the day, don’t hesitate to share them.

Foxhall Garden Club Lower Q Leaf Clean-Up (from April 27)

The following images were from the renegade “Foxhall Garden Club” Leaf Clean-up on the morning of April 27, 2019. If you’d like to join in the fun, the Club has been meeting regularly to beautify targeted areas within the FCCA boundaries. Contact Conrad DeWitte for more.

You’ll find key players as well as slides and presentation packages of updates provided by DPR and the contracted vendors (architects, builders, etc.).

Note: If you find the slides too hard to view (or the “full screen” control does not make them fullscreen), you can try this URL at SlideShare to get more direct access:

Peter Nohrden, our DPR Project Manager and our general go-to, shared this with us after the progress meeting shared on April 29, 2019: “Thank you for coming out and providing us with great feedback on the design as we continue to revise the plans as we move forward. Please find the link to the presentation below and please share this with your family, friends, and neighbors who could not make the presentation. We will send you out a flyer once we schedule our next meeting after a contractor is hired to continue the design discussions in more detail.”

Here’s a sample slide that shows a concept of the plaza area. See more by folloowing thre asbove link to DPR’s site and the entire presentation.
