• Set a date and time for the clean it up. Log on to JaxNHOrg.coj.net to register your community cleanup.
• Distribute flyers to advertise the event, solicit volunteers and inform interested parties about the time, date and location of the meeting place. Be sure to include a contact person, phone number.
• Notify churches, youth groups, civic organizations, schools and local businesses to ask for their support and participation.
• Ask local businesses to participate by providing permission to use their dumpster for disposal, display an event flyer in a prominent place, donate refreshments or other items and encourage employees to volunteer.

• Pick up support materials such as bags, gloves and safety vests from Clean It Up, Green It Up.
• Assign responsibilities and delegate tasks to volunteers.

• Have fun and enjoy the satisfaction of improving your community!
• Take sign-in sheets and a pen or pencil to record the names of volunteers and to check volunteers in and out.
• Remember to encourage safe cleanup practices.
