A community movement in Los Angeles
Clean LA Volunteers
One Small Spot at a Time
Together we can make Los Angeles cleaner, greener, and more beautiful.
Our Mission
See trash? Take action.
A few minutes and a pair of gloves can transform a corner of your neighborhood — and inspire everyone who walks by it.
Clean
We remove litter from parks, sidewalks, and public spaces — and document every before-and-after transformation.
Inspire
Every transformed spot shows what's possible. Small actions ripple into cleaner blocks, prouder neighborhoods, a greener LA.
See a spot that needs love? Snap a photo and report it — volunteers will take it from there.

From our volunteers
“Our block looked tired for years and nobody did anything. One two-hour cleanup changed how the whole street feels — and now the neighbors keep it clean themselves.”
“I bring my two kids and they genuinely beg to come back. It is the only chore they have ever fought over. The team makes everyone feel welcome from minute one.”
“I started with one Saturday morning in Echo Park and I was hooked. Seeing the before-and-after photo of our path made me prouder than anything I did at work that week.”
