About this Event

Join us for a litter cleanup event where we’ll beautify the neighborhood by removing trash and recycling bottles and cans found during the effort. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their filled Green Bags from home to drop off for processing at the Redemption Center and take home one (or more!) of SOLVE’s Blue Bags following the event. Any beverage containers found during the cleanup will be donated to SOLVE. ♻️
