Ohio Street Beach Cleanup with Cleanup Club!

From our city streets to the river to the BEACH...no piece of trash is clean from the Cleanup Club or our partners in conservation, Love Blue!

Date: Sunday, Mar 30

Cleaup Time: 10 AM - 12PM

Optional Social Gathering: Lunch after at Navy Pier

Cleanup Location: We will be meeting in front of Caffe Oliva (550 E Grand Ave) on Ohio Street Beach!

Supplies & What To Bring: We will provide grabbers, bags, and gloves. There will be some recycling buckets for everyone, but you are welcome to bring your own if you like. We also encourage bringing pet food or pet litter bags for reuse, if you have them at home!

How to Get There: As we are an environmental organization, we strongly encourage taking public transit, walking, biking or carpooling to the event if possible. This area also has EXTREMELY LIMITED parking due to its downtown location, so bringing a car will most likely be a burden.

To fully register for the event, we will need your first name, last name, email address, and answers to both of our custom questions. If your registration is incomplete, it may be canceled. Thank you in advance!

Please note the following cleanup rules:

Safety First: Wear durable, appropriate footwear that you don't mind getting dirty. If you find any items that present a biohazard, such as needles, please leave them, as we don't want anything poking through a bag and injuring someone. We also recommend avoiding broken glass. Do not do anything that you feel uncomfortable with or that puts you in danger.

Kids and Dogs: The minimum age for participation is 8 years old, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You are responsible for you and your child's safety. Additionally, we ask that you do not bring your dogs to cleanups.

Photograph and Video Waiver: Photographs and videos are taken at the cleanups and include participants. They are typically used on social media, but may also be used for marketing or promotional purposes. If you do not wish to have photo/video taken of you, then you are responsible for letting the leaders of each individual cleanup know and we will do our best to avoid taking photos and video with you in it. We cannot guarantee that you will not be in the background of any photos or video. Therefore, all participants must consent that any photographs or video taken of them or their minor, purposefully or inadvertently, can be used on social media and/or for marketing and promotional purposes by the Cleanup Club or any affiliated groups.

Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk: You are completely responsible for your own safety - please pay attention at all times and avoid any areas or items that are hazardous. By participating in any of the Cleanup Club events and/or allowing a minor (under the age of 18) to participate for which you have legal responsibility as a parent or guardian, YOU ARE HEREBY VOLUNTARILY CONSENTING TO SUCH PARTICIPATION, and on behalf of yourself, your heirs, assigns, and next of kin, RELEASING AND HOLDING HARMLESS the Cleanup Club or any affiliated organizations and its administrators, members, agents, employees, associated personnel, other participants, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“RELEASEES”), from any and all claims, demands, losses, and liability arising out of or related to any ILLNESS, INJURY, DISABILITY OR DEATH, THEFT, OR LOSS you may suffer, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Cancellation Policy: If for any reason you decide you cannot attend this event after signing up, PLEASE cancel your registration. This allows us to open up spaces for other people, and get a more accurate estimate of how many volunteers will be attending.
