Juneau Community Cleanup

In 1916, Mayor B.D. Stewart announced that “…a cleanup campaign should be inaugurated and that the papers and citizens in general should cooperate in the matter of urging the cleaning up of the entire city.”

So, as you can see, even thought Litter Free was formed in 1988, our community has been at it now for over 100 years!

Get ready!

The 2025 Juneau Community Cleanup will be on Saturday, April 19th, starting at 8:00am.

We will update information as we receive it, so please check back regularly or subscribe to the newsletter at this link.

2025 Cleanup Details:

Thursday, April 17 and Friday, April 18
Bags will be available for early distribution during regular business hours at:

Saturday, April 19, from 8 am – 10 am – All bag sites will open

Litter Free provides:

Sign-up sheets
Information on the cleanup

Bag sites:

At the bag sites we direct people to clean up anywhere they find trash on PUBLIC property – roads, sidewalks, ditches, streams, beaches, parks, trails, wetlands, etc. We are not authorized to enter private property to do cleanups. Additionally, this event is supported through a generous donation from Capital Recycling and Disposal to accept trash, so it is not a time for people to unload their personal trash.

Bag distribution sites:

Douglas Library/Fire Hall
IGA Foodland Parking Lot
Western Auto Marine
Fred Meyer – Main Entrance
IGA Super Bear
Duck Creek Market
Forbidden Peak Brewery

What to do with full bags:

Litter Free coordinates the many volunteer truck drivers that pick up the bags and haul them to the landfill. To help the drivers, those picking up trash must tie off full bags of trash and recyclables, and place them on a MAIN roadway in a location that will be easy for the trucks to pull over safely for pick up. Bags should be out for pickup by 2pm so that the trucks can pick them up and take them to the landfill before it closes. If you see stray bags after April 19th, contact us at litterfreeinc@gmail.com to coordinate a pickup.

Are you a solo volunteer looking for a buddy to clean up with?

If so, meet at the Super Bear IGA bag site at 9:00am and connect with another volunteer!
