Pleasant Run Bates Hendricks Cleanup with BNS

Save to Favorites

Join Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and the City of Indianapolis' Department of Business & Neighborhood Services (BNS) as part of our co-led monthly cleanup series to help tackle litter along Pleasant Run and neighboring streets! Cleaning litter beautifies our city while protecting our local ecosystems, including our soil, waterways, plants, and wildlife, from pollution. Litter prevention is one of the easiest things we can do to keep our city clean, but it takes all of us doing our part! We will be cleaning Pleasant Run from Beecher St to Shelby St (1 mile) at this location. *It is an expectation for every volunteer at any KIB project to remain respectful of the spaces and neighborhoods we are in as reflected by both our language and actions.*

Safety: We highly recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and close-toed shoes. We always recommend bringing a reusable bottle for water but we will have disposable cups available if needed. KIB and BNS will provide all supplies, such as litter grabbers, gloves, and trash bags. Waders may be provided for those who want to get in the water to help pick up litter. Due to the rough terrain, we do not recommend bringing young children to this project. This project is better suited for high-school ages and up.

Parking + Facilities: Parking will be available Pleasant Run Pkwy S Dr and nearby streets. A portable restroom will be available for use.
