Registration for the Brightside & Passport Health Plan Fall Community-Wide Cleanup is still open.
All cleanup teams will receive bags and gloves at no cost, and the first 5,000 volunteers to register will also receive a free t-shirt. Brightside welcomes groups of all sizes, big and small and if you are not sure where you would like to hold your cleanup, we can help with that too. Just give us a call or send an email and we will happily offer a suggestion.
The cleanup will take place on Saturday, October 20th with the suggested cleanup times of 8:00am – 12:00pm. (If the date we have set doesn't work for your group, that's OK, we will support any cleanup that takes place in the weeks surrounding October 20th.)
Cleanups are an integral part of Brightside's mission and without the help of your volunteer group, and many other volunteers throughout the year, we could not achieve our goals of a cleaner, greener and more sustainable Louisville.
