Nash Run Trash Trap Cleanup-Anacostia Watershed Society

Much like a colander strains out pasta from a pot of water, our trash trap separates and traps the solid trash from heading further downstream.  This trash trap was specially designed by our water quality specialist to prevent the spread of trash without injuring or harming wildlife like fish from moving freely about the river. (This project is great for a small group of volunteers)

Location: Around the intersection of Anacostia Ave. NE and Douglas St. NE. This site is about an 8 minute walk from the Deanwood Metro station on the Orange Line.*Please click for map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200535682372657058875.00047daf056810ec5cb2f&msa=0

Event Description: AWS has been experimenting with a stationery device built to strain the trash from the flowing waters of Nash Run, located adjacent the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in NE DC. Excellent opportunity to learn about the trash challenges of the Anacostia--and what is being done to address it.
