Portland Picks Up 2024 Trash Cleanup and Field Day Festival

Join us on Saturday, May 18, 2024 
(Rain Date Sunday, May 19, 2024)

The Foundation for Portland Public Schools is collaborating with the City of Portland Office of Sustainability, Saltwater Classroom, the United Way (Brick and Beam Society), Portland Parks Conservancy and several Parent Teacher Organizations to coordinate trash pickup around their schools and surrounding neighborhoods from 9 to 11am.

Bring gloves if you have them; otherwise, bags, gloves, and litter-picking tools are available for you to clean up your corner of Portland. Clean a single street, clean several. Walk for 20 minutes or all two hours. Every effort helps make our neighborhoods free of unsightly trash.

Hubs are located at:
Talbot Community School
Longfellow Elementary
Peaks Island Elementary
Lyman Moore Middle School
Friends of Capisic Park
Reiche Community School
East End Community School
Deering Oaks Park  with the Portland Parks Conservancy
Friends of Allen’s Corner and Casco Bay HS at Northgate Shaws 91 Auburn St. 
Congress Square Park
Coffee By Design at 1 Diamond Street  
 

Join us afterward from noon to 3pm at Payson Park for a free family festival with food, games, music, and more.
