Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for the site's low-volume email updates, then come to the next Spring Street Cleanup on Shawmont Avenue, where it meets Minerva..

What to expect

The spring cleanup gathers on Shawmont Avenue on a Saturday morning in April, and past ones started at 9 or 10 am. Meetings happen semi-regularly and as needed, and recent ones were held at Roxborough Presbyterian Church on Ridge Avenue. Members can attend meetings and vote, and dues can be paid in cash or by check.

Tips for your first visit

  • The events page still lists an April 11, 2026 cleanup as upcoming, so email the group to confirm the next date.
  • Email the group before a first meeting to ask whether non-members can attend.
  • Subscribe to the site's email list or RSS feed to hear about meetings.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The site does not say whether non-members can come to meetings, and membership comes with $10 to $15 in dues. The email list and the spring cleanup are the only clear ways in..
