We tried something new at selected creeks in October – organized clean-ups and Random Acts of Clean-up!
No registration is required if you choose Random Acts of Clean-up. Please report your results to help us track participation and make your clean-up count. We would like to offer a Creek Week T-shirt to say “Thank you!” Please follow this Guidance.
Please review the Volunteer Checklist and COVID-19 Guidance so you arrive prepared for future clean-ups!
Once you register, our administrative volunteers may contact you to confirm your clean-up site location, provide you with additional instructions, or answer any questions you may have. You may be reassigned to a location as space allows.
Please report at 9:00am on the clean-up day to your confirmed clean-up site. Don’t forget your mask, gloves and hand sanitizer. Your team leader will provide you with instructions, garbage bags and help get you started.
If you choose Random Acts of Clean-up, check the sites below for recommendations. A neighborhood clean-up will prevent trash from going into the stormdrain system and polluting our creeks. Thank you!
