Tree boxes are located all over the District. They are the plots of grass and dirt between the street and sidewalk. Usually they have shrubs, trees, and metal or brick fences. Unfortunately, they are the most common littering victim in the city especially with bottles of liquor, beer, and empty cigarette packs.

Hence, Treebox Vodka* was born. I live in the Shaw/Logan area of D.C. I am disappointed with the amount of trash that litters the streets, sidewalks, alley-ways, and in the tree boxes. I plan on using this space to document my effort in cleaning up the streets in my neighborhood.

Check out my progress as I go along. Now that the weather is getting nice I hope to work with my neighbors to clean up the tree boxes and streets. Here’s to living in a cleaner community one tree box at a time.

*The title Treebox Vodka was inspired by the wonderful bottles of Vodka I pick up on my way to work in the mornings out of tree boxes.
