Our trash clean-ups, occurring every Sunday from 9am- 11am rain or shine, are an extremely important component of making the arts accessible to all.

We believe that installing public art is not the singular solution to combat vandalism or blight, but rather, should start with the litter and overgrowth plaguing the quality of life of residents, business owners, and wildlife.

All volunteers are provided with the essentials… a bucket, grabbers, gloves, bags, and case-by-case special gear to tackle the stinkiest/heaviest/bulkiest of scenarios.

All volunteers should attend and participate at their own risk and comfort level.

BAC then transports the bagged debris to the Snohomish County Transfer Station and starts the whole process over again the next Sunday; often averaging about 300lbs and 10 volunteers per clean-up.

Clean-up sites are announced the Wednesday before each Sunday through email and our social media platforms. Sign-up below to receive our weekly email announcement:
