Community River Clean-Up

Boulder, COA morning outdoorsFirst-time and returning volunteers

A morning outside can do a world of good. This proposed community clean-up brings neighbours together to look after a shared stretch of river, one small piece of litter and one good conversation at a time.

What we have in mind.

  • Meet the group and take part in an organizer-led safety briefing.
  • Work in small groups within the designated collection area.
  • Sort what we collect according to local disposal guidance.
  • Finish with a shared check-in and leave the meeting point tidy.

A few things to bring.

  • Closed shoes and weather-appropriate layers
  • Drinking water and sun protection
  • Protective gloves, if requested by the organizer

Make your first visit feel familiar.

Our practical guide covers what to ask, what to pack, and how to make the most of a first clean-up.
