FAQs
Can I choose where I want to clean up?
Yes. On the morning of the event our volunteers select from about 40 sites. Many of our partners choose to clean sites near their business or organization location. About five of the sites are kid-friendly. You may preview all the sites before the event on our cleanup sites page.

What neighborhoods are being cleaned up?
Green & Clean benefits the entire community. Our clean-up sites are located throughout Wausau, Rib Mountain, Schofield, Weston and Rothschild. Sites can be viewed on our cleanup sites page.

The event kicks off at 8:00 a.m. with refreshments and “event day” registration for those who have not pre-registered. At 8:45 a.m. sites will be selected and volunteers will receive materials for their territories as well as gloves and trash bags.
