This is a great way to build team culture, beautify the city and help better the environment in our community. Grab your "pod", "unit", "team" or sign-up alone. This is a first come- first served come as you are gig. And if you aren’t available during our events, feel free to head out into your neighborhood and pick up trash or plant a tree. You can still sign-up and then just share with us how much you did and where you cleaned to help Norwalk reach our goals of a cleaner City, better environment and healthier community.
