September 20th, the City of Temple invites residents to roll up their sleeves and join a virtual celebration of National Clean Up Day. This is a nationwide movement dedicated to beautifying communities and protecting the environment, one piece of litter at a time.

Whether you’re tidying up your backyard, sprucing up your neighborhood, or teaming up with friends at a local park, every cleanup effort contributes to a healthier, more vibrant Temple. This virtual event empowers individuals and families to take part wherever they feel most connected—because change starts right where you are.

How to Get Involved:

• Register online by September 20 to officially join the movement
• Pick up free trash bags and gloves provided by the City of Temple
• Choose your cleanup location—anywhere that matters to you
• Submit photos and collection totals to showcase your impact

Participants are encouraged to document their cleanup efforts and share photos to inspire others. Every image tells a story of pride, care, and commitment to keeping Temple beautiful.

National Clean Up Day isn’t just about trash, it’s about community. It’s a chance to reconnect with your surroundings, take ownership of shared spaces, and set an example for future generations. When we all pitch in, the results ripple far beyond the day itself.
