The 2024 Minneapolis Earth Day Clean-Up takes place at sites across the Minneapolis park system on April 20

The 30th annual Minneapolis Earth Day Clean Up is on Saturday, April 20, 2024, 9:30 am-12 pm!

This year there are 44 clean-up sites across the Minneapolis park system. No registration is required, just show up to help beautify our city by collecting trash and recyclables that accumulated over the winter.

Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board staff or volunteers will provide bags and gloves at all Earth Day sites and City of Minneapolis Solid Waste and Recycling will properly dispose of all collected materials. Thank you to Earth Day sponsor The Lakes Residences!

Join the largest annual community service project in Minneapolis and help beautify our city! Since 2008, volunteers have removed more than 165,000 lbs. of garbage from parks during Earth Day Clean-Up events.
