I routinely walk home from work in Downtown DC, and my regular route takes me over Memorial Bridge. Every time I cross, I see two large pieces of trash--one a truck bumper, from the looks of it, and the other (ironically?) a big ol' garbage can--just off the bank, and after two years am fed up. It's an itch I can't scratch. It's a blemish I can't quite reach. At this point I'd settle for borrowing some waders from the National Park Service and fishing them out myself. N.B. the attached image shows only the garbage can; the bumper is a few feet away.

You might want to contact DC Water to pick these out of the river with their skimmer boat. DC Water operates skimmer boats for this purpose:

Unfortunately, yes. The pieces are close enough to the bank that a boat may not be able to reach them, but they're impossible to miss. In fact, on days when the water's especially low, they're almost totally exposed; they appear to be embedded in the mud about an inch or two.
Attached is a Google Map of the location. They're really impossible not to see from the GW trail.
