Join the City of Davenport and their Spring Corridor Cleanup! The Corridor Cleanup is an excellent opportunity to help us keep our streets and streams clean and our community shine. By picking up litter, you show pride in the community you live in and demonstrate stewardship of our natural resources. Our volunteers have a blast cleaning up in all weather conditions and leave with a sense of satisfaction, knowing they have beautified the City we live in while also preventing water pollution.
Who can Participate? This opportunity is open to anyone interested in beautifying Davenport and protecting the health of our local waterways. No previous experience is necessary. Individuals 17 and under must have adult supervision.
Description of Project: Volunteers will be picking up litter along major corridors throughout the City. Litter pickup consists of walking, bending, and placing wastes in a bag for disposal, and carries little hazard. This activity will take place in the boulevards of highly trafficked areas. Volunteers will receive safety instructions and safety vests prior to the cleanup. Due to the proximity of traffic, some areas may not be suitable for younger children.
Weather? Weather is very variable in March. It could be a sunny day with a high of 50 or a day with rain sprinkles around 35. Past volunteers have enjoyed the cleanup and the challenge of all weather conditions. Because of difficulties associated with canceling and rescheduling, we will clear litter in light rain and low temperatures; however, it may end earlier for volunteer comfort. We will only cancel if there is a chance for significant rain, snow, high winds, or the threat of lightning. Just remember to dress for the conditions.
Follow-up with all registered volunteers will occur on the Thursday before the cleanup as a reminder and heads-up regarding any weather impacts.
