litter cleanup
Gathering discarded refuse
Litter cleanup is the activity of collecting and removing trash from public spaces—parks, roadsides, beaches, or neighborhoods.
The term appears in contexts of community service, environmental stewardship, and volunteer work: The scouts organized a litter cleanup along the riverbank.
Highway litter cleanup is often performed by work crews or adopted by civic groups.
