neighborhood cleanup

Local area beautification

A neighborhood cleanup is an organized event where residents gather to remove litter, clear debris, and improve the appearance of their local area.

These volunteer efforts typically target parks, streets, vacant lots, or waterways: The city sponsors a neighborhood cleanup every spring.

The term also applies to broader community improvement initiatives.
