Join Keep Tempe Beautiful on Saturday, October 17th to Clean Up Papago Park and remove invasive stinknet.
About this Event

We will be at the southwest side of Curry and College at the southernmost rotonda in that area (1000 N College Ave, Tempe, AZ 85288).

Here is more information on what we will be working on:

o Trash and litter removal

o Stinknet removal

If you need additional support in identifying stinknet, we recommend the iNaturalist app (press + to create a new observation, take a photo, then review suggestions).

If you would like to support larger efforts to stop the spread, please report your findings on Stinknet.org (push the red button, input the details, then submit).

Bring water, sunscreen, hat and gloves. Your time slot will start and end on time; we won’t ask you to stay longer.

There is no minimum age to participate in this event and we will have staff on-site to sign any documents for community service requirements.

1 Hour Shifts – 3 Shifts in Total: 8am-9am, 9am-10am, 10am-11am.

You are welcome to sign up for one session or multiple.

We are also looking for Day Chairs to assist in managing the event!

Day Chairs are the lifeblood of our operations and are the first step to greater leadership opportunities within Keep Tempe Beautiful. Some of the things Day Chairs are tasked with are event setup, teardown, sign-in, sign-out, event raffles (if applicable), parking lot attendance, diverting trash from recyclables, photo/video taker, and more (these aren’t things that you choose; rather, everyone does a little of each depending where the needs are during the event)!

To show our appreciation for the longer time commitment you are making, each Day Chair will receive:

  • One FREE State Forty Eight Keep Tempe Beautiful Branded Neon Tee to be worn and utilized during the event for working as a Day Chair. (Please note that only one set will be given regardless of the number of shifts you work).
  • Public recognition of your KTB volunteerism, including your name listed in the post-event summaries of each event you worked.
