What You Need To Know:
Please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out a waiver and check-in. From there, we will give instructions and start picking up litter! We will provide garbage bags, disposable gloves, and bug spray. You should consider bringing sunscreen, gloves of your own if you'd like, and your own grabber (if you don't want to bend down to pick up the litter). If you have any questions, please contact us.
