Cleanup Club Chicago

We're headed back to a highway interchange we know well! Hope you can join us.

Corner of Diversey and California

From our city streets to the river to the HIGHWAY INTERCHANGES...no piece of trash is safe from the Cleanup Club! We're headed back to the highly trashtastic Diversey/California Interchange area, and will be covering 2 underpasses and 4 ramps!Date: Thursday, June 12thTime: Cleanup is from 5 - 7 PM. If you can't get there by 5 that's okay! We will have a supply station set up so latecomers can still join.Cleanup Location: We will be meeting on the grassy patch at the NE corner of the intersection of California and Diversey. Supplies &amp; What To Bring: We will provide grabbers, bags, gloves, and water. There will be some recycling buckets, but you are welcome to bring your own if you like. We also encourage bringing your pet food or pet litter bags for reuse, if you have them at home!How to Get There: As we are an environmental organization, we strongly encourage taking public transit, walking, or carpooling to the event if you will not be biking. This area also has pretty limited street parking, so you will need to add extra time to walk a few blocks to get to the location if you drive.Suggested Donation: Cleanup Club Chicago has 501c3 nonprofit status through the Illinois Environmental Council. If you like our work and want to help us tackle Chicago's litter pollution problem, any donation is appreciated! We humbly suggest a $10 donation per attendee to cover our costs and to support future cleanup events.

If you're bringing a guest, we will need this information for each of them as well. If your registration is incomplete, it may be canceled. Thank you in advance! __________________________________________________________________________________________________Please note the following cleanup rules:Safety First: Wear durable, appropriate footwear that you don't mind getting dirty.

Do not do anything that you feel uncomfortable with or that puts you in danger.Kids and Dogs: The minimum age for participation is 16 years old for this cleanup, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
