The Neighborhood Design Center's Trash Dash

Join the Neighborhood Design Center for Trash Dash 2026, a high-energy community cleanup at Middle Branch Park. Teams of up to 10 will compete to collect the most trash along the Patapsco River, turning a persistent environmental challenge into collective action. Proceeds support NDC’s Community Design Works program, which provides pro bono design and planning services to neighborhoods across Baltimore. Participants can register as a team, join individually, or support through donations. NDC will provide cleanup supplies, light refreshments, and awards for top teams. Pre-registration required.
