What We Provide
Request supplies and receive disposal funds to tackle litter on your own terms.
1
Supplies
To get started, you will receive a litter grabber, a pair of gloves, bags, a SOLVE vest, and other materials. Supplies are shipped to you at no cost. Running low? We'll keep you stocked.
2
Disposal Funds
We understand your home garbage may not handle extra waste, so we'll reimburse trips to the transfer station. For bulky items in the Portland Metro, we'll cover a hauler to pick them up.

Rewards
Share the results of your cleanup efforts to be entered to win eco-friendly rewards and gift cards to local businesses. Plus, top participants will be featured in our monthly spotlight.
Individual Rockstars
"Volunteering with SOLVE changed my habits. I smoke, and I used to toss my cigarette butts on the ground. After my first cleanup, I started throwing them away properly.
SOLVE gave me a new perspective on trash. I am so excited to go on cleanups on my own and volunteer with SOLVE again!"
