Join the Historic Milwaukie Neighborhood Association, Clackamas Water Environment Services & SOLVE for a cleanup. We'll meet at Milwaukie Bay Park before spreading out into the Historic Milwaukie neighborhood, picking up litter and waste from McLoughlin Blvd to the Milwaukie Expressway.
Cleanups like this are important because when trash -- plastic bags, bottles, cigarette butts, etc. — is thrown on the ground, it gets washed into storm drains and directly into our waterways. In addition to potentially choking, suffocating, or disabling aquatic life like ducks, fish, turtles, and birds, litter decreases oxygen levels in the water when it decays. Most litter can be recycled, which protects the environment, saves our natural resources, and keeps our streets and greenspaces clean.
