Due to continued restrictions, and for the safety of our volunteers, we are dividing attending groups into time slots.
Pre-registration will be mandatory and time slots will be on a first come first serve basis.
These 30 minute time slots are limited to 10 registrants at a time. By doing so, we avoid standing in line at the signup stations, where gloves, bags, and grabbers will be handed out. Masks will also be mandatory and the 6 feet apart rule applies. Please note the time slots are only for sign in. You can pick up trash until noon.
How do I sign up?
