How the event will work this year:

This year’s event offers greater flexibility than ever for participating. Our convenient online registration, which is required for all participants, allows you to choose your cleanup area from more than 35 sites in the greater Wausau community.

The week leading up to the event, volunteers may pick up their official Ghidorzi Green and Clean supply kit that includes a free safety green T-shirt for each registered participant, trash bags, gloves and printed site maps at the Ghidorzi corporate office in the Union Station Building at 2100 Stewart Avenue, Suite 300, from Monday, April 18 through Thursday, April 21 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Or you may pick up your items at the Event Kickoff on April 23.

The day of the event, you may choose to join us for the ever popular Ghidorzi Green and Clean kickoff at Corporate Cove, complete with fresh donuts and hot Starbucks coffee. Or you may report directly to the cleanup site you selected when you registered.

Volunteers will clean up their registered site from 9-11 a.m., leaving bags of trash in a visible roadside location. A driver will be assigned to each cleanup site and will make the rounds picking up the bags.

Everyone is invited to tune in to the Ghidorzi Green and Clean social media channels for fun-filled photos from the event! Sharing your pictures and experience is also highly encouraged.
