KCB Cleanup Guidelines
- It's not hard to organize a cleanup of a public area in Columbus.
- You provide the volunteers. Keep Columbus Beautiful will provide trash bags and will loan, subject to availability, gloves and tools for your cleanup.
- Subject to availability, Keep Columbus Beautiful will provide recycling boxes, liners and lids for your recycling drive or clothes collection.
- Cleanups are for litter collection, NOT household cleanouts. Cleanup activities are to take place in public areas.
- If you should find bulk refuse items during your cleanup, please call 614-645-8027 immediately after your cleanup with the exact location and description (i.e., tires, appliances, etc.) of these items to arrange for collection. NOTE: Construction, remodeling and demolition waste cannot be collected by the Refuse Collection Division.
- Registration is due as soon as possible. Don’t forget to take pictures of your activity and send them in with your summary!
- If you need to postpone your cleanup to your rain date, please call (614) 645-8027 immediately to make arrangements.
- If you have any questions concerning Keep Columbus Beautiful, call us at (614) 645-8027
