Our Trash-Out Volunteer Program

Mission: Encourage assistance to Milwaukee County Park Service with the important task of garbage pick-up, especially seen in the spring, after a winter of refuse accumulation, coupled with the onset of increased park use.

How you can help: Simply show up at the location and time of the park of your choosing. All equipment will be supplied. Thank you for your help!
