This event is a TRIFECTA Cleanup in partnership with Keep Charlotte Beautiful and Park & Recreation! Volunteers will tackle Little Sugar Creek, the surrounding streets, and the park property along the stream by removing litter. You can decide which activity to focus on at the start of the event.

Now that we have your attention...

Ice cream containers are NOT recyclable. The material they’re made from isn’t recyclable in Mecklenburg County just yet, but we're upgrading our machines to make this possible soon.

Popsicle, pizza, and other boxes are recyclable right now, so keep recycling them, but please empty out the old pizza first! And if there's any sticky mess left behind, trash it.
