Agenda for event:

• Volunteers are greeted, provided with equipment, introduced to the neighborhood and important history and context offered by local nonprofit and community partners.
• Earth 365 provides safety training and education on what is recyclable and compostable.
• The volunteers are then divided into groups of up to 8 people led by zone captains to tackle identified problem areas or littered routes.
• Everyone returns after 3 hours to celebrate together with tasty treats by local chefs.
• There will be a circle talk to discuss illegal dumping after the clean-up. Topics will include ending illegal dumping, transforming trash to art, and next action steps.
• We will be promoting free dumpster access to area residents to clear out any large items that may otherwise end up illegally dumped.
