Help Springfield Clean Up After the Storm – Volunteer July 17 for Citywide Debris Removal Day

 The City of Springfield is calling on volunteers to step up and help neighbors in need by joining Clean Green Springfield’s Storm Debris Cleanup Day on Thursday, July 17.

This one-day volunteer event will support residents—especially seniors, people with disabilities, and others who need help—by moving organic storm debris to the curb ahead of scheduled City pickup sweeps.

Who Can Help?

Everyone! Individuals, families, businesses, faith groups, and civic organizations are encouraged to volunteer. 
 
Choose from one or both shifts:

• Morning: 7:30–11:30 a.m.
• Afternoon: 1:00–5:00 p.m.

Volunteers will rally at one of 15 locations across the city. When you sign up, you can pick your preferred location.
