To help us prepare, we ask that all volunteers register in advance here or at the registration link above. All registered volunteers will receive a FREE Great Albany Clean Up T-Shirt courtesy of the City of Albany DGS, and complimentary food and beverages donated by Coulson's News & Deli.

Walk-up volunteers are always welcome, but we can only guarantee enough free t-shirts, refreshments, and cleanup supplies for those who register in advance.

All registered guests are encouraged to wear their FREE Great Albany Clean Up t-shirts, which will be available at each drop location during the event. However, participating companies and organizations are also welcome to don their own branded t-shirts to show their group's dedication to keeping Albany clean!
