In honor of Gila Earth Day, we invite you to steward our local environment by joining a community litter cleanup. Litter and debris threaten our environment, harming wildlife, contaminating soil and water, and aiding the spread of pests and diseases. Humans are the only source of manufactured, non-biodegradable waste, so let’s take action to clean up our litter and protect our precious Earth! Join us for a community cleanup on Saturday, April 18th to pick up litter and debris from our neighborhoods, parks, roadways, and streams. We’ll provide the cleanup supplies if you supply the POWER. We only have one planet, let’s take care of it!

Earth Day is an annual celebration of our planet. This global event aims to raise awareness
about environmental issues and encourages global citizens to take action to protect our planet.
This year, the Gila Resources Information Project (GRIP) is celebrating Gila Earth Day by

Volunteers should bring a water bottle and wear closed-toe shoes, a sun hat, and sunscreen. Children 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers, organizations, and partners who do all this work! We are incredibly thankful for the amazing monthly turnouts and support in our collective effort to keep Silver City clean and beautiful.

Monthly Pick It Up – Toss No Más clean-up events are held the third Saturday of every month. Community members can also adopt a roadway or waterway to take care of and clean up throughout the year.
