The Earth Day Clean-Up has been the largest community service project in Minneapolis for many years, and we are hoping that even in this modified DIY mode many residents will come out to volunteer. Since 2008, more than 20,000 residents have removed more than 160,000 pounds of garbage. You can participate anytime in April – while staying safe and preventing the spread of COVID-19. By sharing photos of your cleanup, everyone will see what we can accomplish for the 2021 Earth Day.
It’s free to participate and residents are encouraged to participate by volunteering to help pick up trash in parks, neighborhoods, and watersheds. No registration needed, just follow these easy steps:
Your DIY Earth Day Cleanup:
- Use a trash bag from home or pick up bags and gloves at participating Earth Day sites on April 24 from 9:30 am to noon.
- Head to a nearby park or trail and pick up trash you see, while getting fresh air and exercise!
- Practice social distancing and other current COVID-19 guidelines. Learn more at www.minneapolisparks.org/coronavirus-covid-19-information/
- Share pictures of your trash haul on our Facebook page – at @MPLSEarthDay using the hashtag #MplsDIYEArthDay
