Volunteers will meet at the intersection of Melnea Cass Blvd. and Tremont street.

Materials distributed will include trash bags and gloves to remove trash. The group will travel along Melnea Cass Boulevard and conclude the clean-up near Massachusetts avenue. Please remember to bring:


1. Water
2. Hat
3. Sunglasses
4. Close-toed shoes
5. Bug Spray

This clean-up will spark the conversation of where our waste ends up and how it impacts Public Health. Volunteers will assist the city in posing these questions and moving us closer closer to our goal of being a zero waste city.
