Point-of-Pride Cleanup Events
On select Saturdays in May, the City will host a cleanup at a location significant to Springfield. Bring your team to lend a hand to make these locations the point of pride they are. Perfect for individuals, families and volunteer teams, these cleanups will involve lighter, all-ages litter cleanup work.
What to Wear:
Bring work gloves and wear sturdy shoes. Rubber boots are a good choice for working in stream areas, but there will be plenty of area to clean up without getting your feet wet. Bring your own water bottle!
Sunday, April 7: Kansas Expressway Cleanup at Grand Street
2–4 p.m.
Help clean up a section of Kansas Expressway where it meets Jordan Creek near Grand Street. This portion of Kansas Expressway is consistently in need of love due to the amount of traffic and the flow of stormwater sweeping trash along the roadway and creek.
