Solo Clean Ups
What is a Solo Clean Up?
You don’t have to wait for someone to organize a cleanup, or even find people to clean with. Picking up trash is as easy as grabbing a bucket or garbage bag, some gloves and talking a walk in the neighborhood. And, if you need Community Service Hours, we’ve got you covered.!. Read the instructions below carefully to get your certificate.
Safety First
Trash picking is like a box of chocolates – You never know what you are going to get. Always wear gloves and appropriate clothing / shoes. Look with your eyes first before picking up, and be very careful with sharp objects. You don’t have to touch anything that seems unsafe. And don’t place sharp objects loose in a plastic bag where it can poke you!
Supplies
All you really need are gloves and a garbage bag. We like inexpensive nitrile-coated reusable and washable gloves, but even dishwashing gloves from under your sink or your local grocery store are fine. If you are going to do this more frequently, we recommend re-purposing a bucket from a local restaurant that is destined for the trash (soy sauce, pickles or condiments often come in 5-gallon buckets). Some people like using a picker / reaching tool.
