The eighth annual North Knoxville Community Cleanup and Tree Planting will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 9am-12pm. The event base will be at Northgate Plaza, located at 4212 N Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917. We will be removing litter from North Knoxville roads, creeks, and parks. This year, we have a special partnership with Trees Knoxville to plant trees at Whittle Springs Middle School. Trees Knoxville and Keep Knoxville Beautiful are partnering to plant trees in communities and schools across Knoxville. Together, we are growing the urban canopy, helping keep schools cooler, and increasing biodiversity in neighborhoods throughout the city. This partnership supports healthier learning environments, stronger communities, and a more resilient Knoxville for generations to come.
Participants of any age are welcome! We look forward to seeing those who live, work, or play in North Knoxville - as well as anyone who wants to lend a helping hand. Thank you for keeping Knoxville beautiful!
There are four volunteer options: three to sign up as an individual (land, creek, tree planting) and one to sign up as a group. Please only fill out the section that applies to you.
- Groups: Groups will be assigned an area of North Knoxville that they will clean up. Please only sign up as a group if you are wishing to lead your group in your own cleanup area.
