Registration
Each participant must sign a registration form, also known as the liability form, for the event. Registration is usually done at the cleanup site the day of the event. For large groups we recommend you complete the forms for each participant ahead of time and have them ready to hand over to the site coordinator the day fo the event. This will save you and the site coordinators time. Registration starts between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. Times vary from cleanup location to cleanup location. Please refer to the individual cleanup sites for exact times.

Directions
Please see the individual cleanup site for more information. Detailed directions, parking information, and important instructions will be posted by each site closer to the event.
