Leave it better than you found it.

CleanBlock Civic is built on a simple idea: the places we share deserve to be treated with respect.

Our parks, neighborhoods, trails, waterways, and natural spaces belong to all of us. Taking care of them means respecting nature, respecting our communities, and thinking about the people and wildlife that come after us.

We believe small acts of responsibility matter. Pick up what you can. Take care of the places you use. Help when you see an opportunity to help. And encourage others to do the same.

We don't expect any one person to fix everything. But when a community takes responsibility for the places it shares, small actions add up.

"Respect the earth. Respect each other. Leave it better than you found it."

Litter isn't just an eyesore — it harms wildlife, pollutes waterways, and degrades the quality of life in communities. CleanBlock Civic is working toward:

Cleaner green spaces

Parks, trails, and natural areas free of litter.

Healthier waterways

Preventing plastic from reaching streams and rivers.

Stronger communities

Neighbors who look out for each other and their shared spaces.

Long-term stewardship

Building habits, not just one-time events.

Safety & Liability Agreement

Safety Comes First — Always

No cleanup, badge, score, streak, statistic, or community contribution is worth risking your safety. When in doubt, leave the item alone and report it.

Who these rules are for: These rules are for general community participants. If you are a trained, authorized, and equipped professional (such as a hazmat worker, medical waste handler, or law enforcement), follow your training and applicable laws for your work.

Do not touch — leave it and report it: Do not pick up, touch, or closely inspect any of these:

  • Needles, syringes, or any medical sharp
  • Suspected drugs or drug paraphernalia
  • Chemicals or unknown liquids and substances
  • Biological or medical waste
  • Weapons or ammunition
  • Dead animals
  • Items near active homeless encampments
  • Anything that looks, feels, or smells unsafe
  • Anything you cannot clearly identify

If you see one of these items:

  1. Leave it exactly where it is.
  2. Keep other people and animals away when you can do so safely.
  3. Report it through the app or to your local authority.

Do not touch or closely inspect an item just to figure out what it is. If you are unsure, treat it as hazardous and report it.

No credit for risk: CleanBlock Civic will never ask you to pick up a hazardous item to complete a cleanup, earn a badge, increase a score, or add to community statistics. There is no reward for taking a risk.

Trained professionals only: Only people who are trained, authorized, and equipped for a specific type of hazardous material should handle or dispose of it — and only by following applicable laws, regulations, and accepted safety procedures. CleanBlock Civic does not train or certify anyone for this work.

Your responsibility: You participate voluntarily and at your own risk. You are responsible for your own safety, including wearing gloves and visible clothing, working in safe conditions, and following local laws. Do not enter private property without permission. Contact local authorities (police, city services, or 911 in an emergency) for dangerous, illegal, or hazardous situations.

Liability waiver: CleanBlock Civic, its organizers, administrators, and partners are not liable for injuries, accidents, illnesses, property damage, or legal consequences arising from your participation.

CleanBlock documents environmental impact, not just participation. Cleanup counts, locations, weights, and community statistics follow documented data-quality rules.
