DIY Litter Cleanup

Ongoing, anytime, anywhere.

Organizing a litter cleanup with your friends, neighbors, co-workers, or other community members is easier than you may think! Asheville GreenWorks provides cleanup supplies and safety information, and will coordinate trash pick up as needed. Supplies include gloves, safety vests, trash bags, trash grabbers, and a SHARPs container. Register now to learn more about borrowing supplies to organize your own cleanup.

Create a Volunteer Account

Our dedicated volunteers are the heart of GreenWorks, and y’all are doing SO MUCH GOOD WORK in the community that we needed a way to keep track of it all. 

Our new system lets you create an account to make it easier to sign up to volunteer at upcoming events as well as to track your hours (*ahem -- all you students who want service hours).

Save yourself a step the next time you sign up for an event by creating your profile now.
