Join us for the 4th Annual Pick it Up, Portland!
Friday, July 17 & Saturday, July 18, 2020
Pick it Up, Portland is a series of litter cleanups in partnership with the City of Portland, in an effort to make Portland a safer, cleaner and healthier city. With the help of our volunteers, partners, and sponsors, we will not only clean up Portland neighborhoods to make them safer for the community, but we will also remove litter that harms local wildlife.
As the “City of Bridges”, Portlanders have a special connection to water. Some storm drains, and the litter within them, flow directly into the Columbia or the Willamette River, while others channel into nearby creeks and wetlands first.
When volunteers come together for Pick it Up, Portland they show they care for their community, including the natural spaces that make Portland so unique.
