A litter-free community increases property values, helps reduce crime, and attracts tourists and business.

Clean Streets represents an effort with both residents and local businesses to create a cleaner, healthier and safer Cal Heights.
The program began in August 2009 and we invite any interested volunteers to join us! Bags, pickers and reusable gloves will be supplied.

NEW TIME! Starting 9/8/2022 cleanups occur every Saturday morning at 9:00 am and last until 10 am.

Thanks to LITTER FREE LONG BEACH for supporting Clean Streets and supplying our garbage bags!
