    Description

    Help us cleanup Oakland Chinatown

    OCA-East Bay (ocaeastbay.org) has been organizing this PickITup Chinatown program for the better part of 10 years. The goal is to teach community ownership through picking up garbage/litter, reporting problems to City public works and abating graffiti.

    This is a monthly program, dates vary based on holidays and community preference. See the full schedule and RSVP here.

    We have had strong partnership from the following over the years:

    • Oakland Adopt A Spot Program
    • Alameda County Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas
    • Alameda County Supervisor Lena Tam
    • Asian Youth Services Committee
    • BuildOn Oakland High
    • Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce
    • Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council
    • Oakland Chinatown Coalition
    • Boy Scout Troop 201
    • Athenian School

    RSVP link

    Release Form for 2026 (fill it out once per year).

    We are sign off on volunteer hour for school credit or other purposes when verification of community service is required.

    We have worked with

    • Community organizations
    • Churches
    • School classes
    • Volunteer associations
    • Elected officials
    • Corporate employee resource groups

    This is a volunteer-run operation and we're hoping for people to join our team who might be interested in helping not only with the PickItup itself but also the setup/takedown and areas of pre-planning. For more info contact us at ocaeastbay@gmail.com
