Walk Your Block Clean: Earth Day Weekend Community Litter Pickup in Louisville and Lafayette, CO
Details
Description
Some of the most powerful community change starts with the simplest actions. Walk Your Block Clean is a grassroots neighborhood litter pickup bringing Louisville and Lafayette, Colorado residents together the weekend before Earth Day to care for the streets, sidewalks, and green spaces we all share.
Founded by two neighbors with a belief that showing up for your community does not have to be complicated, Walk Your Block Clean is free, accessible, and open to everyone. No experience required. No complicated logistics. Just neighbors walking their blocks and making their corner of the world a little better.
When: Saturday, April 18th, 9am to 11am Where: Elks Lodge parking lot, Main Street, downtown Louisville, CO Cost:Free
What to expect Supplies including bags, gloves, and grabbers are provided at check in. Walk at your own pace through your own neighborhood. Kids and leashed dogs are very welcome. We are rain or shine.
Why it matters Clean streets are just the beginning. When neighbors show up for shared spaces together, something bigger happens. Connections are made, pride in place grows, and the ripple effect reaches further than any single bag of trash ever could.
Come be part of something simple and meaningful. We will see you outside on April 18th.
