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.

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