Anchorage Chamber Citywide Cleanup
2024 CITYWIDE CLEANUP. KEEPING ANCHORAGE CLEAN SINCE 1968!
Cleanup Kickoff Event Update!
Please be aware, the Inlet View Elementary Salmon Run is also happening in the area. There are some street closures from 10a-12noon with limited access on 15th during that time so an alternative route to get to the Margaret Eagan Sullivan Park (Westchester Lagoon) area is advised.

WHEN IS CITYWIDE CLEANUP?

WHERE I DISPOSE ORANGE BAGS?

HOW DO I CLEAN UP SAFELY?
- Remember to wear gloves while picking up trash and an orange safety vest if cleaning roadways or intersections.
- Bring sturdy plastic containers suitable for sharps like used needles. These could be medical sharps containers designed for needle collection, available at some pharmacies, or thick plastic jugs for detergent, kitty litter, or shampoo (water bottles are too thin and can be punctured.) Here’s a flier from the state health department on safe needle disposal.
- Please be aware of private property boundaries and ask permission to clean these areas.
