The DC Council is on the verge of passing a Bottle Bill in DC. The District is drowning in littered bottles and cans, especially plastic bottles. Bottle deposit-return laws – commonly known as “bottle bills” – effectively slash trash at no cost to consumers, tax payers, or the District government.

Join us on Zoom to call supporters of the Bottle Bill together to ask them to contact their councilmember. We will train you on what to do at the beginning of the phonebank, and no phonebanking experience is required.

This guided walk will provide an opportunity to learn about the corridor’s past while imagining what it could become: a safe, accessible, and vibrant community connector linking neighborhoods, parks, trails, transit, the Anacostia River, and other important destinations across Wards 7 and 8.

Join DC Go-Go Trails for a special community walk to reimagine the rail corridor and honor our veterans.

We spoke with staff at 10 Council offices about our experience cleaning up hundreds of littered bottles everyday and urging them to support a proven solution.
