Residents who missed the online sign-up for Saturday's creek cleanup can still take part by showing up early.
The city's Environmental Services and Stormwater teams run Clean It & Green It: Streams on Saturday, Oct. 24, with litter pickup from 9 to 11 a.m. The event, which the city says used to be called Stream Clean, focuses on trash along local waterways.
Pre-registration closed Sunday, Oct. 18. According to the city's cleanup page, people who did not pre-register can still register on the day itself starting at 8 a.m., although advance registration is encouraged to make sure there are enough supplies.
How the morning works
Check-in and supply pickup run from 8 to 9 a.m. at the city's Environmental Collection Center at 6616 Walnut St. Every participant has to be covered by a signed waiver, and a parent or guardian must sign for anyone under 18.
Volunteers can come alone, as a family or as a group. The city will assign a cleanup location, or volunteers can pick a stretch they already know. Each participant gets gloves, trash bags and hand sanitizer, and the city says event T-shirts go out until the supply runs out.
After the two-hour cleanup, volunteers have from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to bring their bags and leftover supplies back to the collection center.
