Community Cleanup: Sibley Parkway

Greetings, Planet Protectors!

Ready to make a real, visible impact in our community? Join the Blue Earth Project for a fun and rewarding afternoon as we “team up to clean up” our beloved Greater Mankato! Let's roll up our sleeves and work together to restore the beauty of our local green and blue spaces. Every single piece of debris we collect makes a difference.

Our Goal: Our mission for the day is to clear debris from the intersection of Sibley Parkway & Poplar. We want to ensure that it remains a clean, safe, and beautiful environment.

Help Us Collect Data! (Optional) Want to take your contribution a step further? You can use our mobile app during the cleanup to collect data on the types of litter you find. This information is crucial as it helps us better understand the challenge our community faces from waste and litter, allowing us to plan more effective solutions.
