community cleanup
Group litter removal
A community cleanup is an organized event where local residents gather to remove litter, debris, or graffiti from shared spaces—parks, beaches, roadsides, or neighborhoods.
The activity combines civic improvement with social bonding: The neighborhood association holds a community cleanup every spring.
Participants typically receive trash bags, gloves, and sometimes refreshments.
