Spring into action for Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful’s annual Cleanup Day event 

Spring is here, and Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful invites residents and community members to join the annual Caring Community Cleanup Day on Saturday, April 30, from 7:30 a.m. to

1 p.m. The event will focus on cleaning up several locations throughout the City.

Volunteers will meet at the MIDFLORIDA Event Center to enjoy a free breakfast provided by Walmart. Water and root beer supplied by Side Door Brewing Company.

What: Entering its 27th year, Caring Community Cleanup Day is designed to inspire pride of place and connect neighbor-to-neighbor for improving the natural environment of Port St. Lucie. In 2021, over 7,460 pounds of litter and recyclables were collected by volunteers. This event is in-person and is open to the public.

Participants can pick up their free T-shirts and litter tools starting at 7:30 a.m. Cleanup begins at 8:30 a.m. Remember to take before-and-after photos before returning to the MIDFLORIDA Event Center to drop off your trash bags. Return between 10 and 11 a.m. for a raffle ticket and a chance to win a prize, interact with exhibitors and receive a free lunch provided by Nature’s Keeper.
