Clean-Up, Graffiti Removal, & Beautification

Neighborhood Clean-Ups

Each spring, volunteers work together to clean up their neighborhood. Sponsoring community groups receive a small amount of money from the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability in order to pay for dumpsters, equipment, and food for volunteers. Metro makes a significant contribution to pay for disposal fees at the transfer station. If you are interested in organizing a clean-up in your neighborhood, contact Associate Program Director, Mary Jaron Kelley.
