In conjunction with the California Coastal Cleanup Day, the annual Bidwell Park and Chico Creeks Cleanup is an event dedicated to improving the local environment and our community by working together to keep these green spaces and waterways waste-free before the winter rains wash debris downstream.

Registration and check in begins at 8:30am on Sept. 19th at Hooker Oak Park, 1928 Manzanita Ave.

Here is what you can expect at check in at Hooker Oak Park:

• Participants will receive their free unique event t-shirt

• Borrow cleanup materials

• Receive a cleanup location/assignment of their choosing

• Have a safety briefing

• From there, volunteers will head out to their cleanup site. At the site, participants will scour the landscape for all types of trash, from the smallest to largest, most common to most unique.

  • Large bulky items will be retrieved by participants calling the BEC dispatch center for a pick up, where special core volunteers or even the City Public Works department are directed to assist with removal. Participants can collect their items in buckets and bags which can be dropped off at the dumpsters located at Hooker Oak Park.
