Join forces with family, friends and neighbors for the 33rd annual Citywide Spring Cleanup!

Why: Each year, hundreds of volunteers gather across Saint Paul for the Citywide Spring Cleanup to pick up garbage/litter/trash that has recently become exposed due to the melting snow.
Who: Individuals and groups of all ages come together to help beautify the city of Saint Paul.
Where and How: Participating is easy! Register below, and then drop by your selected CLEANUP SITE any time between 9 and 11:30 am, to pick up bags, gloves, snacks and meet your neighbors and community members. Then, head out and clean up your park or neighborhood of choice.
