Detrash Portland

Portland thrives on its natural beauty and vibrant communities, yet litter remains a persistent issue. Our ongoing cleanups bring together residents from all neighborhoods to create a cleaner, more welcoming environment city-wide. Join us in this effort to keep our city beautiful for those who call it home and for visitors here to explore its unique districts, green spaces, and local businesses.
