Community Litter Clean-Up Month
Businesses, civic organizations and youth groups are encouraged to take responsibility for picking up litter along various routes during the month of May. The City and Keep North Dakota Clean will provide supplies, route guidance, and more. Volunteers cleaning-up routes in May will be eligible for prize drawings.
There are approximately 17 routes identified for the volunteer project. Routes are easiest to work with a group of 8-10 people, however individuals may sign up for a route and City staff will help organize or get them connected with another group to clean-up the route. View routes and sign-up to volunteer below.
This will be the 12th year for litter clean-up from ditches along routes in Mandan. The volunteer day was an idea brought to the City by Keep Mandan Beautiful led by Amy Schmidt.
Shirts: The shirt design does not change from year to year, so repeat volunteers are asked to keep and wear a previous years' volunteer shirt (bright yellow or orange). If you are a new volunteer/volunteer group, please submit your shirt sizes when registering.
Note: Supplies will be available at a date TBD.
Door Prize Registration: With the extended periods of rain in the middle of the month impacting many volunteer's plans to clean-up their route, the door prize registration will remain open through 11:45 p.m., Sunday, June 8.
As the weather gets nicer and citizens are walking outdoors, another option is to pick up litter along the way. Please bag trash and avoid sharp objects. Report the discovery of any large items like animal carcasses or discarded tires to the Public Works Department at 701-667-3240 or publicworks@cityofmandan.com.
Fill out the form below to register as a volunteer for Community Clean-Up Day. Individual or group registration is allowed. If you are registering a group of volunteers, please be sure give your best estimate on the number of volunteers and to list all shirt sizes or email Kari Schmidt with the shirt sizes for your group. Routes will be marked *CLAIMED* once the volunteers have been secured for the route.
