CAN CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN VOLUNTEER EVENTS?

Yes, Beautify Fresno welcomes people of all ages to our events. All volunteers are asked to sign a waiver when they check-in. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a parent sign for them. Children under the age of 12 will need to be accompanied by a guardian at all times.

CAN WE STILL VOLUNTEER FOR BEAUTIFY FRESNO EVENTS EVEN IF REGISTRATION IS AT CAPACITY?

Yes, we are always happy to welcome as many people as possible to our events and appreciate your willingness to participate. In most cases, we are able to expand our cleanup area to accommodate more volunteers. In the very rare instance when we must limit the number of volunteers, we will let it be known.

HOW CAN I HELP IN THE EFFORT TO END LITTERING?

The best way to discourage people from littering is by setting a good example:

  1. Don’t throw your litter on the ground;
  2. Pick up litter you see and dispose of it properly;
  3. Don’t throw any litter (including cigarette butts) out of your car;
  4. Check to make sure that any trash cans you own have a tight fitting lid; and
  5. Encourage your friends and neighbors to perform cleanups, even if it is just a once- or twice-a-month walk through your neighborhood.

Calling all joggers and walkers: Take a bag on your jog or walk and pick up litter on your favorite path or route to add to your exercise/weight loss routine.

HOW DO I REPORT ILLEGAL DUMPING, GRAFFITI, BLIGHT, OR OTHER ISSUES?

You can report illegal dumping, trash, graffiti and other issues by reporting them on FresGO.  FresGO is a free, easy to use, real-time app for residents to report issues, track requests, provide comments, and learn about City services.

FresGO will allow you to automatically report items, like graffiti, broken street lights & sprinklers, potholes, code violations, traffic signal problems and more. With FresGO, you can also upload pictures and use GPS to report the location; track the status of a request and receive a notification when the issue is resolved.
