To volunteer for community clean-up efforts in Charleston, West Virginia, you can join the city’s organized “Team Up to Clean Up” events. The Spring 2025 events are scheduled for April 12 and May 3, running from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., covering areas like West Side, North Charleston, Bigley Avenue, South Hills, East End, Kanawha City, and Downtown Charleston.
The city provides clean-up supplies, T-shirts, snacks, and water for volunteers. If you have litter pickers or gloves from a previous event, you are encouraged to bring them, as supplies are limited. To participate, individuals, groups, or organizations can register via an online form provided by the city.
Additionally, related volunteer opportunities exist through the West Virginia Make It Shine program, which supports various cleanup activities statewide, including resources and waste disposal assistance for organizers. You can contact the city or the program via official websites or phone for registration and more information.
For localized clean-up events, such as South Charleston’s annual spring clean-up and Kanawha County cleanups, dates and locations are announced periodically, and these events are open for public participation.
Volunteering involves signing up online for scheduled clean-up events, showing up at designated supply pickup locations, and joining fellow community members in beautifying Charleston neighborhoods.
