About this Event
Come join the Cleanup Club and District 12 Commissioner Bridget Degnen to bond over the joys of removing trash from our local community! We'll be covering a large section of Ravenswood Ave in Lakeview.
Date: Sunday, April 14th
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Corner of Ravenswood Ave & Irving Park Rd (Southeast corner on the east side of the tracks). We will have groups going both north and south, in an attempt to cover everything from Montrose to Addison.
Social Outing: Optional meetup before at Ritual Coffeehouse (1821 W Irving Park Rd) from 9 -10 AM for some coffee, pastries and chit chat!
Supplies & What To Bring: We will provide grabbers, bags, and some protective gloves. We recommend that everyone please bring their own 5 gallon bucket, water, plus trash grabbers and gloves (if you have your own). Please dress appropriately for the weather. We recommend wearing closed-toed shoes, clothing that does not snag easily if cleaning in forested areas, and bringing a bag to carry water and sunscreen so your hands can remain free.
How to Get There: As we are an environmental organization, we strongly encourage taking public transit, walking, or biking to the event if possible. Additionally, there is minimal parking at this location, so if you do bring a car, please allow extra time to find parking and walk over.
PLEASE NOTE:
By registering for this event, you are agreeing to the following rules and waiver:
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.
Kids and Dogs: The minimum age for participation is 8 years old, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You are responsible for you and your child's safety. Additionally, we ask that you do not bring your dogs to cleanups.
Photograph and Video Waiver: Photographs and videos are taken at the cleanups and include participants. 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. We cannot guarantee that you will not be in the background of any photos or video. Therefore, all participants must consent that any photographs or video taken of them or their minor, purposefully or inadvertently, can be used on social media and/or for marketing and promotional purposes by the Cleanup Club or any affiliated groups.
COVID-19 Precautions: COVID-19 is a highly contagious, communicable disease. We require everyone to follow the current CDC guidelines on mask wearing and social distancing at our cleanups. As we cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19, we recommend that masks be worn at all times as a preventative measure. Additionally, we will be capping the number of participants based on the current coronavirus restrictions.
