Join us on May 22 for Algiers Clean Sweep hosted by New Orleans City Councilmember Kristin Gisleson Palmer and the Algiers Economic Development Foundation. Algiers Clean Sweep is a community-wide day of service. Volunteers are needed for the following clean up efforts:
Volunteer Registration Table:
Help us welcome volunteers, collect liability forms, replenish refreshments, answer questions, and coordinate volunteers throughout the day from the Algiers Clean Sweep Staging Area, Lambert Playground, 3800 MacAurthur Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70114.
Non- Hazardous Trash and Debris Drop Off and Glass and Used Tire Recycling:
If you're not able to join us for roadside trash clean up throughout the day, you can bring us any non-hazardous trash or debris to the Clean Sweep headquarters for disposal in a free dumpster. We'll also have free recycling for glass and used tires.
Neighborhood Clean Up:
We encourage each unique and beautiful community in Algiers to gather volunteers to clean up trash in their neighborhoods. We welcome a little neighborly rivalry: which neighborhood can collect the most trash in one day? We will be sending groups, teams, and individuals to specific areas of Algiers for roadside trash clean up throughout the day. You may start or end your volunteer shift at any time that is convenient for you.
Who can sign up? We welcome all volunteers, whether you live, work, or play in Algiers or are just visiting for the day.
Neighborhood Teams:
Get your neighbors together and tackle litter in your neighborhood! Register as a team and let us know where you're working. Neighborhood teams can meet at the Clean Sweep Staging Area at 3800 MacArthur Blvd. for trash bags, gloves, masks, and refreshments during the kickoff ceremony at 8:30 a.m. and for additional supplies throughout the day.
Individual Volunteers:
Need to join a team? Sign up as an individual and we'll be happy to find you a way to serve Algiers! Please report day-of to the volunteer registration table.
