Organise a one-day community cleanup of a park, street, riverbank or trail.
Scout a site with visible litter, safe access and parking; pick a weekend date 3-4 weeks out.
Contact the municipality or landowner to confirm the cleanup is allowed and ask about waste collection support.
Agree with the local waste service where filled bags will be collected and how recyclables are separated.
Source gloves, litter pickers, bags and hi-vis vests; many municipalities lend these for free.
Create a simple flyer and post in local social media groups, noticeboards and schools.
Write a short briefing covering sharps, traffic, weather and hygiene; identify a first-aider.
Register attendees, brief them, assign zones, and coordinate collection points during the event.
Weigh or count bags, photograph the haul and thank volunteers publicly to build momentum for the next one.
