Urgent Need: Cleanup along SE 92nd and Powell

Join SOLVE for a cleanup along SE 92nd and Powell.  We will be meeting at the Kingpins Bowling Alley and walking to the locations together.

SOLVE defines some cleanup areas as sites with a high concentration of litter that poses a threat to public safety and environmental quality. This cleanup is not family-friendly or suitable for anyone under the age of 18 due to an increased presence of hazardous materials. Safety guidelines will be put in place before the cleanup begins.

At this event, you may encounter or be exposed to the following elements:

• Close proximity to active unhoused communities.
• Close proximity to abandoned unhoused encampments.
• The presence of used hypodermic needles among the garbage.
• Other hazardous materials such as bio-waste.
