How to join or host a cleanup, what to do with the bags, and who to call.

Joining an event

The events page lists cleanups neighbors have planned and curated projects hosted by City partners. Ask to join a cleanup’s group, or sign up for a project’s open spots: when there’s room you’re in right away. No account needed.

Volunteers pick up

  • Litter and loose trash
  • Bagged household trash left out
  • Leaves and trash around storm drains

Leave for the City

  • Tires
  • Chemicals, paint and needles
  • Construction debris
  • Mattresses, furniture and other heavy trash

Everyone wears gloves and a safety vest, and youth groups name an adult who will be on site. Your first sign-up gives you a volunteer ID; print an hours certificate from My claims for service hours.
