About this Event
Join Cleanup Club Chicago as we beautify the streets of the Douglas neighborhood for our next community cleanup! We'd like to meet at 9:45AM and the trash removal party will go from 10 AM - 12 PM.
Meeting Location: For the cleanup, we will meet up on the corner of La Salle St & 35th St in front of the Metra 35th Street Station, then heading North along LaSalle.
Supplies & What To Bring: We will provide grabbers, bags, and protective gloves, and we recommend that everyone please bring sunscreen and water if needed. If you have your own trash grabber, gloves, or 5 gallon bucket, you are welcome to bring them! Please dress appropriately for the weather. We recommend wearing closed-toed shoes, clothing that does not snag easily if cleaning in forested areas, and bringing a bag to carry water and sunscreen so your hands can remain free.
How to Get There: As we are an environmental organization, we strongly encourage taking public transit, walking, or biking to the event if possible. Additionally, there is minimal parking at this location, so if you do bring a car, please allow extra time to find parking and walk over.
PLEASE NOTE:
By registering for this event, you are agreeing to the following rules and waiver:
Safety First: Wear durable, appropriate footwear that you don't mind getting dirty. If you find any items that present a biohazard, such as needles, please leave them, as we don't want anything poking through a bag and injuring someone. We also recommend avoiding broken glass. Do not do anything that you feel uncomfortable with or that puts you in danger.
Kids and Dogs: The minimum age for participation is 8 years old, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You are responsible for you and your child's safety. Additionally, we ask that you do not bring your dogs to cleanups.
Photograph and Video Waiver: Photographs and videos are taken at the cleanups and include participants. They are typically used on social media, but may also be used for marketing or promotional purposes. If you do not wish to have photo/video taken of you, then you are responsible for letting the leaders of each individual cleanup know and we will do our best to avoid taking photos and video with you in it. We cannot guarantee that you will not be in the background of any photos or video.

As we cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19, we recommend that masks be worn at all times as a preventative measure. Additionally, we will be capping the number of participants based on the current coronavirus restrictions.
