With a metro area of more than 1 million people, keeping Tucson spotless isn’t the easiest of tasks.
Enter the citywide clean-up effort known as Team Up to Clean Up.
The program, led by the City of Tucson and a variety of community partners, recruits residents to clean up areas of the city that they call home.
Potential participants can choose a cleanup event listed below and sign up to clean that area on the Team Up website.
After the clean, you report your progress through the online survey.
If the mood strikes, post to social media using the hashtag #TeamUpToCleanUpTucson.
