volunteer cleanup
Unpaid community service
Volunteer cleanup refers to organized efforts where unpaid participants remove litter, debris, or damage from public spaces.
Community groups hold volunteer cleanups at beaches, parks, roadsides, and neighborhoods: The volunteer cleanup after the hurricane drew hundreds of helpers.
The phrase can also describe any unpaid tidying work: I spent Saturday doing volunteer cleanup at the church.
