Community Trash Cleanups
The green stick is where it all started. Our cleanups bring neighbors together with litter grabbers in hand to restore the places we share — parks, neighborhood streets, trails and recreation areas.
What it looks like
- Cleanups are open to all ages and abilities, from families with young kids to corporate teams and school groups.
- Each outing focuses on a specific public space, so volunteers can see the difference they make in a single morning.
- We emphasize safe, responsible collection — gloves, grabbers and proper sorting of recyclables from trash.
How you can help
- Join an upcoming cleanup
- Bring your workplace or school group
- Suggest a spot in your neighborhood that needs care
