SE Portland Community Cleanup & Recycling Event

Hosted by SOLVE in partnership with the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative, this is your chance to help create a cleaner, greener PDX.

Join us for a litter cleanup event where we’ll beautify the neighborhood by removing trash and recycling bottles and cans found during the effort. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their filled Green Bags from home to drop off and take home one (or more!) of SOLVE’s Blue Bags following the event. Any beverage containers found during the cleanup will be donated to SOLVE. ♻️

Did you know that SOLVE participates in BottleDrop Give? Through this program, supporters can fill specially tagged Blue Bags to help support SOLVE and BottleDrop account holders can donate directly from their Green Bag account. Ask us for more information at the event!
