    Description

    Detrash Portland: South Waterfront

    Join The Zidell Companies and SOLVE at the South Waterfront for a meaningful community cleanup this Thursday, June 11th, from 10am - 12pm! The event begins at Elizabeth Caruthers Park with check-in, supply distribution, and a brief safety speech, followed by volunteers heading out to collect litter and protect our local environment. Every piece you remove helps keep our parks cleaner, strengthens our local recycling stream, and prevents waste from entering the Willamette River. 🌊 ✨

    We'll be sharing the space with the South Waterfront Farmers Market, stop by after the cleanup for some local treats! 🫛

    This is a great opportunity to come together as a community, enjoy scenic views, and make a tangible impact on our environment. This event is part of our ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown through the Detrash Portland series.

    Thank you to our partner, The Zidell Companies, for making this event possible!
