On select Saturdays in May, the City will host a cleanup at a location significant to Springfield. Bring your team to lend a hand to make these locations the point of pride they are. Perfect for individuals, families and volunteer teams, these cleanups will involve lighter, all-ages litter cleanup work.
What to Wear:
Bring work gloves and wear sturdy shoes. Rubber boots are a good choice for working in stream areas, but there will be plenty of area to clean up without getting your feet wet. Bring your own water bottle!
