Your group can help keep Cleveland Metroparks free of debris! Clearing litter and debris allows us to ensure our guests have a safe and enjoyable experience while visiting our parks. Clean parks also provide a healthy environment for native plants and wildlife to thrive.
Volunteers assistiing with recyclable sorting with be sorting through recyclables collected across all 18 park reservations. This effort is critical, as many non-recyclable items end up in these bins, contaminating the entire bag. When this happens, it prevents the bag from going to a recycling facility, with all of its contents instead going to the landfill. With the help of volunteers, trash items are sorted out of the waste and any recyclable material is sent to the correct facility. It is a dirty job, but one with a huge impact! The program typically runs from early spring to late fall, weather permitting.
Litter clean up projects are available in all of our 18 reservations and are ideal for groups of 5-15 participants.
Recyclable sorting projects are available at Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation and is ideal for groups of 5-10 participants.
