Beach & Riverside Cleanup Returns This September, Connecting Communities Across Oregon And Southwest Washington (Photo) - 08/27/26

Portland, Ore., August 27, 2026 – From inland neighborhoods to rivers and the Oregon Coast, SOLVE is bringing communities together this September for its annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup, taking place September 18–27 across Oregon and Southwest Washington. Volunteer registration is now open for cleanup and restoration projects that help keep litter out of local waterways and protect the places communities love.

For four decades, the Beach & Riverside Cleanup has connected volunteers across the region in a shared effort to remove litter, restore natural areas and protect beaches, rivers and public lands. This year, the event is joined by returning regional events including Pick It Up, Milwaukie! and Pick It Up, Bend!, both entering their second year, as well as SOLVE’s Clean & Green Series in Vancouver.

“Protecting our waterways starts in the communities where we live, work and play,” said Kris Carico, CEO of SOLVE. “Every piece of litter we prevent from entering a storm drain, creek or river is one less piece that can travel downstream. The Beach & Riverside Cleanup reminds us that our actions are connected, from inland communities to rivers and ultimately to the coast.”

From Inland Communities to the Coast

Litter doesn’t stay where it is dropped. Rain and runoff can carry trash from streets, parks and neighborhoods into storm drains, streams and rivers, eventually reaching the ocean. Protecting our waterways therefore requires action at every point along the way.

The Beach & Riverside Cleanup brings that source-to-sea connection to life, with volunteer opportunities ranging from coastal beaches and riverbanks to neighborhood parks and community spaces. Together, volunteers remove litter, restore natural areas, and help protect the waterways that connect communities across the region.

The 2026 cleanup also aligns with several national and global efforts highlighting the importance of protecting waterways and public lands, including International Coastal Cleanup Day (September 19), National Public Lands Day (September 26) and World Rivers Day (September 27).

Regional Action, Close to Home

The Beach & Riverside Cleanup is part of SOLVE’s broader network of opportunities for communities to take action close to home.

After successful inaugural events last year, Pick It Up, Milwaukie! and Pick It Up, Bend! are returning for a second year. These large-scale community cleanups bring residents, businesses and volunteers together to care for the places they know and love, and help prevent litter from reaching local waterways.

In Vancouver, SOLVE’s Clean & Green series brings cleanup and restoration projects to community-loved parks and natural areas. SOLVE is also making it easier for local leaders to organize their own volunteer projects through its Vancouver supply hub, providing access to cleanup supplies and resources closer to where community action is happening.

Together, these efforts reflect SOLVE’s year-round approach to community action: connecting people with opportunities to care for their neighborhoods, natural areas and waterways while contributing to a cleaner, greener, and more resilient region.

Key Events Across the Region

Coastal Cleanups
Communities in six Oregon counties, Tillamook, Lincoln, Lane, Clatsop, Curry and Benton, will participate in the Beach & Riverside Cleanup, with the majority of coastal cleanup events taking place on International Coastal Cleanup Day, September 19. Volunteers will come together to remove litter from beaches and coastal areas, joining a global effort to protect waterways and prevent marine debris from reaching the ocean.

Pick It Up, Milwaukie! | September 19
In partnership with Bob’s Red Mill, SOLVE is bringing back Pick It Up, Milwaukie! for its second year. Volunteers will clean up downtown streets, business corridors and Milwaukie Bay Park, including the river’s edge, before joining the community’s Sustainability Fair.

Clean & Green Vancouver | September 19
SOLVE’s Clean & Green series will bring volunteers together at Vancouver’s Waterfront Park, downtown and the Renaissance Trail to remove litter and care for community spaces. The event highlights SOLVE’s continued commitment to bringing cleanup and restoration opportunities to communities across Southwest Washington.

Pick It Up, Bend! | September 27
Returning for its second year, Pick It Up, Bend! will bring volunteers together at the Old Mill District and Hayden Homes Amphitheater to clean up Bend’s community spaces. The cleanup will lead into SOLVE’s partnership with the Jack Johnson concert that evening as a Village Green partner, extending the day’s focus on community and environmental action. (Participation in the cleanup does not provide access to concert tickets).

Get Involved

SOLVE invites individuals, families, schools, businesses and community groups to join a Beach & Riverside Cleanup project, participate in a regional event or explore opportunities to lead their own cleanup or restoration project.

Whether volunteers are picking up litter along the coast, restoring a neighborhood park or cleaning up an inland community, every action helps protect the waterways that connect us all.

Coastal Communities Needed To Lead Cleanups This September (Photo) - 08/17/26

SOLVE calls on Oregon Coast residents and community groups to host cleanup projects during annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup, September 18–27

Portland, Ore., August 17, 2026 – Coastal communities have already shown what’s possible when they come together to protect Oregon’s coast. Following 18 coastal cleanups on July 5 that brought together 667 volunteers and removed 7,393 pounds of litter, SOLVE is calling on more coastal residents, businesses and community groups to help keep that momentum going this September.

From September 18-27, SOLVE’s annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup will bring volunteers together across Oregon and Southwest Washington to remove litter, marine debris and invasive species while caring for beaches, rivers and waterways. The cleanup includes International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 19, a global effort that brings communities together to protect coastlines from litter and marine debris.

More coastal cleanup leaders are needed to host projects this September. Event leaders don’t need to have previous experience or organize everything on their own. SOLVE provides support to make hosting a cleanup easy, including cleanup supplies, permitting guidance, volunteer registration and project resources.

How to Get Involved

Those interested in hosting a coastal cleanup during Beach & Riverside Cleanup can learn more and sign up at solveoregon.org/beach-riverside.

SOLVE is also encouraging coastal residents who aren’t able to lead a project to participate in an existing cleanup or help spread the word.

SOLVE Brings LOVE PDX To Inspire Action For A Cleaner, Greener, More Beautiful Portland, Oregon (Photo) - 08/13/26

With support from Keep America Beautiful and Niagara Cares, the campaign encourages people to show love for their community through cleanups, recycling, and beautification

Portland, Ore., August 13, 2026 — During the citywide Pick It Up, Portland! yesterday, SOLVE launched LOVE PDX, a local initiative to inspire community action to protect and beautify the local parks, streets, waterways, neighborhoods, and public spaces that make Portland special. 110 volunteers joined litter cleanups at five different locations (Downtown, Central Eastside, Holladay Park, Cathedral Park and Sellwood Riverfront Park) and collectively picked up nearly 1,000 pounds of litter. Pick It Up, Portland!, which celebrated SOLVE’s 10^th anniversary of the citywide cleanup held in summer, kicks off locally led efforts to:

• Reduce litter and illegal dumping
• Promote recycling
• Engage local residents in volunteer efforts that advance these goals.

“Pick It Up, Portland! was the perfect occasion to launch Love PDX℠, a campaign that encourages Portlanders to care for the places they love through community and environmental action. The campaign as well as this annual event inspires people to take pride in their communities through recycling education, community cleanups, and shared stewardship of local spaces,” said Kris Carico, CEO SOLVE.

Love PDX was developed in partnership with Keep America Beautiful, Niagara Cares, the philanthropic division of Niagara Bottling, and SOLVE and will run through April 2027.

Research conducted for Keep America Beautiful by The Harris Poll found that Americans overwhelmingly want their communities to feel welcoming, clean, and cared for.

“When people care about a place, they want to keep it healthy and beautiful,” said David Wheeler, Keep America Beautiful’s Vice President for National Partnerships.“ LOVE PDX gives people a meaningful way to turn that care into action.”

With support from Niagara Cares and Keep America Beautiful, the LOVE campaign was initially piloted with LOVE ATX in Austin, Texas in 2024 and has now expanded to additional cities including: Dallas, New Orleans, Phoenix, Portland and, in California, Sacramento, San Pedro, and Venice Beach.
