Want to Participate as a Group?

Groups like scout troops or church organizations are welcome to join. Each participating family must collect two bags of trash to receive a pass. Group leaders should send in the names and emails for each household—so, if three families clean up, that’s six bags for three passes.

Safety Tips:

Wear gloves, watch for traffic, and always follow local laws.

This community effort is an easy way to make a difference in Indy, get kids involved in taking care of their city, and earn a fun night out at the movies. For the full details, check out the original Facebook post here.
