Neighborhoods, businesses, and individuals can make a difference in their community by volunteering for the Waterway Clean Sweep Program. Interested parties may apply to schedule their own clean-up date or join others at one or more of our pre-scheduled events.

The Waterway Clean Sweep volunteer program is an organized event that focuses on cleaning up waterways in Oklahoma City. Employees and volunteers will spend a few hours at a waterway removing trash and other debris from the banks and water. 

Check out this short video for clean-up event guidelines.

Program Highlights

  • Individual volunteers, or groups, can participate.
  • City personnel will select a clean-up area for the group depending on group needs and preferences.
  • Volunteers can participate as often as they like.
  • Volunteers must submit a release of liability waiver for each clean-up.
  • The City of Oklahoma City provides bags, safety vests, gloves, litter grabbers and training.
