Pilsen Canalport Cleanup PART 2 with Cleanup Club!

There was so much shredded trash the last time we were at the Canalport Highway Interchange that we weren't able to cover nearly as much ground as we wanted to. So we're headed back for another round! This time we're sponsored by The Urban Canopy and collaborating with one of our captains, Rick, and his biking group Cycling x Solidarity!

Date: Saturday, Oct 4th

Time: 10 AM - 12 PM

Cleanup Location: We will be meeting on the grassy patch next to the ramp at 1966 S Canalport Ave and covering the ramps and underpasses in this highly trashtastic interchange area!

Social Gathering: Join us for some pub lunch at nearby Skylark. (CASH ONLY. There is an ATM onsite). All volunteers will receive a free shot of Malort (or other well liquor) after the cleanup!

Supplies & What To Bring: We will provide grabbers, bags, gloves, and high visibility vests. There will be some recycling buckets, but you are welcome to bring your own if you like. We also encourage bringing your pet food or pet litter bags for reuse, if you have them at home!

How to Get There: As we are an environmental organization, we strongly encourage taking public transit, biking, walking, or carpooling. This area also has limited street parking.

Suggested Donation: Cleanup Club Chicago has 501c3 nonprofit status through the Illinois Environmental Council. If you like our work and want to help us tackle Chicago's litter pollution problem, any donation is appreciated! We humbly suggest a $10 donation per attendee to cover our costs and to support future cleanup events.

To fully register for the event, we will need your first name, last name, email address, and answers to both of our custom questions. If you're bringing a guest, we will need this information for each of them as well. If your registration is incomplete, it may be canceled. Thank you in advance!

Safety First: Wear durable, appropriate footwear that you don't mind getting dirty. If you find any items that present a biohazard, such as needles, please leave them, as we don't want anything poking through a bag and injuring someone. We also recommend avoiding broken glass. Do not do anything that you feel uncomfortable with or that puts you in danger.

They are typically used on social media, but may also be used for marketing or promotional purposes. If you do not wish to have photo/video taken of you, then you are responsible for letting the leaders of each individual cleanup know and we will do our best to avoid taking photos and video with you in it.
