Over 2,780 pounds of litter removed from Northwest Rochester! That’s what our volunteers accomplished across 39 cleanups during the 2026 season.
One thing that really stands out is how much of our work was concentrated along Lake Avenue and Lyell Avenue. These two streets accounted for nearly half of our cleanups in Northwest Rochester!
Why does that matter? Because litter is an ongoing problem. Cleaning a street once is great, but returning throughout the season is how we make a lasting difference.
With 154 volunteer attendances recorded, we’re proud of the progress made in Northwest Rochester and look forward to building on it in 2027!
