INDIANAPOLIS — The 2015 Great Indy Cleanup season kicks off in April. In 2014, 208 neighborhoods coordinated cleanups with the help of over 7,000 volunteers, collecting 557 tons of litter and illegal dumping, along with dozens of beautifications.
Residents can participate in the April Great Indy Cleanup Event in three ways:
• Coordinate a community cleanup: Find the date of your community cleanup, and complete the required request form to receive resources for your community cleanup.
• Volunteer: Join a cleanup already in progress as an individual or a group to help a neighborhood with their cleanup. Visit the Keep Indianapolis Beautiful Project Calendar online to sign up.
• See Litter? Take a photo then pick it up! When picking up litter in your neighborhood, be sure to post a photo on #Instagram and help us fill a digital dumpster! Those who post with the hashtag #EveryLitterBitHelps will be eligible to win a prize every day in April. If you need trash bags and gloves, visit your neighborhood Indianapolis Public Library any day in April.
