We're a group of volunteers that are committed to improving our community by cleaning up litter, as the name implies :)
Cleaning up Providence one piece of trash at a time!
This group is open to anyone interested in helping to pick up trash around our beautiful state of Rhode Island. We'll organize monthly gatherings in public locations, all you need is a grabber or gloves and a trash receptacle (bag or bucket).
