OCRRA Litter Cleanup
Last year, over 4,100 people participated in OCRRA’s Earth Day Litter Cleanup and 56,000 pounds of trash were collected. Join your neighbors on April 22 or April 23 to clean up litter and help beautify our community.
Groups can be large or small, and groups of one are 100% welcome. Ask friends, family, neighbors, or co-workers to join and have an even bigger impact on litter in our community.
Not sure where to clean up? Take a walk or drive around your area to find places that need attention. Clean-up locations are selected by group leaders.
While OCRRA does not provide garbage bags or other cleanup supplies, OCRRA will tell you where to deposit the litter you collect, where OCRRA will dispose of it at no cost.
The deadline to register is Friday, April 15, at ocrra.org.
