Gloves, grabbers, and trash bags will also be provided.
This is a rain-or-shine event, so please plan accordingly.

Waivers & Team Communication

All volunteers must sign a waiver before participating. If anyone still needs a copy, we will have extra waivers available at check-in.

Safety Guidelines

Volunteers should only pick up items they feel comfortable handling.
Stay on the ramps or on the adjoining streets. DO NOT go on to the highways.
If you encounter large or hazardous items, please leave them in place and notify our team so we can arrange proper disposal.


Cleanup Areas

While our focus will be on highway ramps, volunteers are welcome to continue cleanup into nearby neighborhoods as well if your group finishes early or prefers to work in those areas.



Trash Bag Placement

Once bags are full:

Tie them securely.
Place them at corners accessible to a refuse truck.
If possible, stack bags together at one corner rather than spreading them out. This helps ensure efficient pickup.
