Our City, Our Home
SOLVE and the City of Portland are working together to clean up Portland's parks, neighborhoods, business districts and everything in between. Now is your chance to get involved in this city-wide effort to remove litter from our community. Join an existing cleanup or become a SOLVE leader and create your own in a neighborhood of choice. Together, our goal of making Portland’s public spaces safer and more welcoming can begin today. Join an existing cleanup event or create your own.
Please be sure to review and agree to SOLVE's Volunteer Safety Guidelines before attending an event.
