244 bags of litter collected at 9 community cleanups + 3 bonus cleanups

15 local businesses supported by 101 neighbors

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION /
Cleanups are about more than picking up trash. You’ll connect with neighbors, share resources, and learn how to submit 311 requests for city services. We’ll also track the total number of bags of litter collected — along with other data related to the types of litter — to help us better understand litter in our neighborhoods and how to prevent it.
ALL ARE WELCOME (ESPECIALLY STUDENTS)!
Spring Clean Up Week was created as a fun, easy, and impactful way for students to spend time in service over spring break. Student service hours are available, and cleanups provide a welcoming third space for teens and opportunities for intergenerational connection. Everyone is invited to take part — no special equipment needed, just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll take care of the rest.
