The seventh annual North Knoxville Community Cleanup will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 9am-12pm. The event base will be at Northgate Plaza, located at 4212 N Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917.

We will be removing litter from North Knoxville roads, creeks, and parks. This year we have a special partnership with Trees Knoxville to plant trees along Walker Blvd. The creek cleanup will be in partnership with Ijams River Rescue. 

Participants of any age are welcome! We look forward to seeing those who live, work, or play in North Knoxville - as well as anyone who wants to lend a helping hand. Thank you for keeping Knoxville beautiful! 

There are four volunteer options: three to sign up as an individual (land, creek, tree planting) and one to sign up as a group. Please only fill out the section that applies to you.

• Groups: Groups will be assigned an area of North Knoxville that they will clean up. Please only sign up as a group if you are wishing to lead your group in your own cleanup area.
