Dear All,
Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) would like to invite everyone to participate Thursday, April 1st at 12:15 p.m. for a 15-minute “Great Indy Cleanup”. If you could stop what you are doing at 12:15 on Thursday, pick up a bag (and your trash grabber if you have one), put on some gloves and clean up an area by your work, home, or wherever you are at that time think what a difference we all can make!
See the information below from KIB. Hope many of you will be out there!
Sincerely,
Janice McHenry
P.S. If you simply cannot get out at 12:15, how about taking some time before or after work or time that works for you on that day. The time is not what is important, it is the end result.
VIRTUAL GREAT INDY CLEANUP
THURSDAY, APRIL 1: ALL DAY
Let’s kick off the spring cleaning season together!
Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) invites everyone in Indy to spend a few minutes outside of your home, work, or wherever you are at 12:15 pm on Thursday, April 1 for a 15-minute Great Indy Cleanup together (but at a safe social distance).
Imagine if everyone in the city stepped outside at the same time, with a shared goal to take care of our shared streets and public spaces. We picture smiling faces, waves to neighbors across the street, and the sounds of laughter … community.
WHEN
Any time on Thursday, April 1, 2021. We hope you’ll spend at least 15 minutes outside!
WHERE
In front of your house, in a nearby alleyway, outside of your business … wherever you are!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Grab an old grocery bag to reuse (or another bag available to you).
Put on your gloves or grab your litter grabber.
Pick up whatever you see for 15 minutes.
Get creative! Dance to your favorite song while you clean, wear a funny costume, something to make the world smile.
Wave to your neighbors!
Take pictures of your amazing work.
Wash your hands!

WHY
It feels good to do good, to take care of each other and our community. One of the many things we are known for in Indianapolis is doing things together. The coronavirus pandemic restricted Indy’s usual volunteer opportunities last year — but not our volunteer spirit and desire to help others and the environment. Let’s kick off spring cleanup season by making a difference across Indy.
SHARE YOUR IMPACT
Post pictures online of how many bags you clean up and tag @kibiorg + #GreatIndyCleanup.
