Join us for a volunteer storm drain marking event! You and your group can pick a neighborhood or be assigned one to help label storm drains, pick up litter, and raise awareness that only rain should go down the drain. These simple actions help prevent pollution, protect our creeks, and keep our communities beautiful.
We will meet at the amphitheater at Miller Park (2500 Queen St) at 1pm. Parking is available at the lot off Queen Street. We’ll go through a safety briefing and distribute supplies, then each group will need to provide their own transportation to their chosen or assigned area. Meet back at the same place between 3pm-4pm to drop off extra materials and trash collected.
This event is weather-dependent and will be rescheduled if rain is forecasted for the event time.
What’s provided: Safety vests, drain marker placards and adhesive, trash bags, gloves, trash pickers (limited), extra water, and light snacks.
What you should bring: Sunscreen, water bottle, closed-toed shoes, and friends! If you have your own trash picker, please feel free to bring it as we have a limited amount to distribute.
Please sign up for your group (1 slot = 1 group) and list the number of people expected for your group and if you have a preferred neighborhood or area of W-S you want to mark. Groups can be any size. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. All participants must sign liability waivers.
