Clean the Block – 5th Ward Community Cleanup
Clean the Block is a monthly community initiative restoring pride and cleanliness across Houston neighborhoods. Volunteers work together to remove illegal dumping, trash, and debris from streets, sidewalks, and vacant lots.
This will be our first cleanup outside of Sunnyside/South Park, and we’re excited to bring the movement to 5th Ward.
All cleanup supplies will be provided, including gloves, trash bags, tools, and dumpsters from Waste Management.
