Who this list is for
This checklist is for anyone organizing or joining a community cleanup day focused on litter removal. It’s meant for volunteers, group leaders, and event coordinators who want to keep the event running smoothly and safely. If you’re packing for yourself or helping others get ready, use this list to cover the basics.
How to use this list
Begin by confirming volunteer registration and gathering meeting-point details. Organizers should print or save instructions for easy reference. Volunteers should pack work gloves, closed-toe shoes, and a weather layer suited to the day’s forecast. Bring water and sunscreen for comfort and safety. If the organizer requests it, add a litter picker. Use bags supplied or approved by the organizer. Finish by adding hand-cleaning supplies for after the cleanup.
What to skip
Don’t bring bags from home unless the organizer has approved them—some events require specific types for disposal or recycling. Skip open-toed shoes, even if the weather is warm; closed-toe shoes are safer for picking up litter. Avoid packing bulky gear that could slow you down or get in the way.
What is on this list
This list includes volunteer registration, meeting-point details, organizer instructions, work gloves, closed-toe shoes, weather layer, water, sunscreen, litter picker if requested, bags supplied or approved by organizer, and hand-cleaning supplies.

Before you go
Double-check you have all required items packed and labeled. Review the meeting-point details and organizer instructions one more time. Make sure your water bottle is filled, gloves are in your bag, and hand-cleaning supplies are handy for after the event. This prep helps you focus on the cleanup, not on missing gear.
