The Results are in for World Cleanup Day 2025!

The World Cleanup Day Team wants to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your participation in World Cleanup Day! Your enthusiasm and commitment to cleaning up our environment made a significant impact in our community. 240 participants were able to collect 379 lbs. of litter & 16 lbs. of recyclables from the Carrollton neighborhood. Together, we demonstrated the power of teamwork and showed that small actions can lead to big changes. We would also like to thank those who donated to our Mardi Gras cup collection drive. Thanks to your donation of 700+ cups, our volunteers stayed refreshed with iced coffee and sno-ball, all while reducing single use plastic and making our cleanup more sustainable. Whether you picked up litter, volunteered to serve, or inspired others to join in, your efforts truly made a difference. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to advocate for a cleaner, healthier planet. Be on the lookout for more participation in the next community cleanup, and more environmentally-based events, during the Loyola University Earth Week from April 16th through 22nd! Thank you once again for your dedication and hard work!

How to Get involved in World Cleanup Day!

Join Loyola and Tulane in celebrating World Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 20th, by participating in a litter sweep of our neighborhood! 

Before the sweep, join us for light bites and educational tabling. Stick around afterwards while we tally our impact and enjoy live music and sno-balls from Imperial Woodpecker as a thank you for helping beautify the neighborhood!
