All Hands Neighborhood Cleanup

You bag it, we pick it up – it’s that easy! 

Join us for the All Hands Neighborhood Cleanup Series, a community-driven initiative led by Adopt a Street. From March to November, we’ll beautify six Seattle neighborhoods with ten cleanups, tackling litter and graffiti to create a more welcoming city.

Host a Cleanup

Adopting a street is fun and flexible! Clean up alone, on your way to work or school, or with your business, school, club, or faith-based organization! Learn how to host a cleanup!

Join the Movement

Bring your friends and neighbors and help make a difference! Expect good vibes, fresh air, and a fun time while giving back to your community.

If none of those times or locations work for you- do not worry! We have compiled a list of events by SPU, community partners, and neighborhood cleanups. Join one of our neighborhood stewardship activities to care for Seattle, help your neighborhood, and protect our environment.

Learn more about how to get started with your own cleanup with neighbors and friends through our Adopt a Street Program. Don’t worry, it is non-committed! You can do cleanups as often as you’d like.

Help us keep Seattle safe and clean by reporting illegal dumping, pollution, and graffiti. You can also learn more about preventing and removing graffiti, collection of sharps, public litter cans, and keeping alleys clear of collection containers.
