Spring Clean Up Week 2026: April 11th-19th
2026 Spring Clean Up Week is here! Check out this year's schedule of daily community cleanups (16 individual cleanups and 3 bonus cleanups!) and RSVP below (subject to updates and additions — please check back regularly).
Many cleanups include a social gathering afterward to connect with neighbors over food and conversation. Several offer no- or low-cost options—see event links for details. You can DONATE toward food and drinks for participants.
New This Year: We’ll be using the Department of Energy and Environment’s Litter Data Card at cleanups to collect standardized data on litter. This helps strengthen the evidence base for current and future law, policy, and funding related to waste and public space.
Spring Clean Up Week cleanups are rain ☔ or shine ☀️ (or wind 🍃). Please dress for expected weather. There is some rain today, April 19, but it should be done by the time of our cleanups.
