Upcoming events
November- TBA
We have found a location that needs some help! We will be cleaning Harden Blvd. and will have all supplies, drinks, and safety vests since we are near a roadway. We will also be cleaning Beaker Rd. which is safer for the younger volunteers.😊 It will be best to park along Beaker Rd. and we will start there. Hope to see everyone again soon!👏🚮🌎
2024 Cardboard Boat Challenge
Come out to Lake Hollingsworth and help us cheer on the racers! We will be partnering with the City's Lakes and Storm Water division and will be giving out goodies. Meet our team and learn more about how you can volunteer!
September- Lake Parker
We will be one of a few groups cleaning different areas of Lake Parker this day! Come out and make this cleanup HUGE! This area is not a great kayak opportunity, but we will certainly do that again soon. All ages are welcome, and supplies will be provided. Our location will be at the southwest outfall which is at the corner of Bon Air St and Lakeshore Dr. Shout-out to the girl scouts and Owls Nest Sanctuary for cleaning as well!
August- Lake Mirror
The recent, heavy rains have brought a lot of garbage into Lake Mirror so we are going to get this lake beautiful again! This will be another early cleanup before it gets hot. Please bring your own water, but we will have all the supplies needed! BYOK (bring your own kayak) as some of our team will also be in the water as well and you can join too if you have one If not that’s ok as we will have several long nets to reach trash over the wall. Sadly, we call this lake the "Straw Lake" as we generally find hundreds with its downtown location. Because of this we are going to play a game! Volunteers who participate next week will be able to play guess the number of straws we collect and the closest guess will win a reusable KLB water bottle! Any age can join and play! Bring those community service papers as well!
July- Lake Beulah
We will be starting early to beat the heat! Please bring your own water as we will not be pulling the cart along. We will park on the East side of the lake on the back side of the RP Funding center. I would advise wearing sunscreen and a hat to protect you from the summer sun.🌞 This is a great location for kids if you can get them up early!😊
May- Lake Hunter
Last time we cleaned Lake Hunter, we were rained out so hopefully we will have more luck this time! We will be working on the south side of the lake which is a lot of shoreline to cover so come on out and lend a helping hand. Supplies and drinks provided, and we can also sign those community service papers! Hope to see you soon!
April- TBA
It's Earth month! Come out and join us so we can make a difference for our planet🌎🌞🌅 We will be joining some of the My Pet's Animal Hospital crew and cleaning Drane Field rd. There will be plenty of parking at the hospital. This road isn't generally busy, but we will have bright vests for children as well as adults if needed. Hope to see lots of volunteers!👏 Supplies and drinks provided!
March- Lake Parker
We will post the exact location closer to the event date. We are going to see which area of the lake needs our help the most! Come on out and help us beautify Lakeland's largest lake. We will provide all the supplies and have drinks as well. See you soon!
February- Lake Beulah
Join us in cleaning our adopted lake, Lake Beulah! It's been a while so we will need lots of help. Unfortunately, this hidden gem collects a lot of trash that people throw out so we always have lots to collect here. We will provide all supplies and have some drinks to share. Don't forget we can also sign community service papers! See you soon!
January- Lake Wire
Let's start the new year off strong and make Lake Wire beautiful! This lake accumulates a lot of trash and it's great for all ages to join. Want community service hours, come on out! Want to clean to meet your new year's resolution goal, come on out! Can only stay an hour, come on out! Don't let that stop you from making a difference. Whatever your reason, come join us and have some fun! We will provide all the supplies you need and will start on the south side of the lake.
December- Lake Parker Southwest Outfall
We will be out at the southwest side of Lake Parker near the pollution control device near the corner of Bon Air St and Lakeshore Dr. This area accumulates a TON of garbage, and the device helps tremendously, but it doesn’t catch everything. That’s where we come in! We will provide all the supplies so come on out and help us make this area spotless! Bring those community service papers for the young volunteers so we can give them credit for their hard work. Please send us a message if you have any questions.
Live Green Ecofest

March- Harden Blvd.
We will be cleaning up part of Harden Blvd. this month. This road needs lots of help so please come out and help us make it beautiful! We will park along Beaker Rd then make our way south along Harden Blvd. This can be a busy road so I would be cautious with younger volunteers. The school year is nearing the end so bring those students who need volunteer hours! We will have all equipment as usual as well as child/adult safety vests and drinks. See you there!

The location for our cleanup this weekend has been determined. We will be joining forces with our very own Lakeland Rotary club.
