For In Person Cleanup Sites we provide these items:
- Trash Bags
- Extra Gloves
- First Aid Supplies
- Litter Sticks
Note: If you are registered for the Virtual Cleanup you can request to pick up these supplies.
Upon arrival at a In Person cleanup event, your Site Coordinator will provide you with all safety guidelines specific to the site. You are required to follow these guidelines.
1. DO wear gloves at all times.
2. DO stay in your group or work with a buddy.
3. DO use caution around creek banks–they can be muddy and slippery. DO NOT go in the water!
4. DO NOT pick up any dangerous, hazardous, heavy or awkward items, such as tires, large pieces of scrap metal, needles, syringes, bloody clothing, Band-Aids, dead animals, etc.
– Please notify the site coordinator if you find any of these items. DO handle sharp objects (broken glass) with care – children should NOT pick up broken glass.
5. DO lift with your legs, not with your back
6. DO be cautious of poison oak!
7. DO stay clear of homeless encampments!
8. DO NOT over exert yourself! Take breaks; drink plenty of water especially on warm, humid days.
