Minneapolis DIY Earth Day

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and City of Minneapolis annual Minneapolis Earth Day Clean-Up event, Saturday, April 24, 9:30 am-noon, has moved to DIY mode. You can use a trash bag from home or pick up supplies, including bags and gloves, at participating Earth Day sites throughout the city, including Beltrami, Boom Island, Waite, and Windom parks.

It’s free to participate. Residents are encouraged to participate by volunteering to help pick up trash in parks, neighborhoods, and watersheds. No registration needed. Share pictures of your trash haul on the clean-up Facebook page: facebook.com/MPLSEarthDay using the hashtag #mplsDIYEarthDay. Info: minneapolisparks.org/activities__events/events/earth_day_cleanup/.
