Block Drops

Mobile self-service cleanup stations around West Seattle

Block Drops are mobile cleanup stations deployed around West Seattle and designed for ease of community engagement. Stations consist of signage, pickup sticks, buckets and bags (usually 5-10 sets of gear depending on site location).

We drop stations off for a set period of time (usually 9am to 5pm), then pick them up at the end of the day and take care of the collected trash with help from our partners at Seattle Public Utilities / Adopt a Street program.

Just show up, use the tools provided and we’ll take care of the rest.

How Does it Work?
The beauty of these cleanups is they’re on your time — no need to wait for a community event that fits your schedule, simply find our location for the day and engage when it’s convenient for you. Go it alone for a walking meditation or connect with friends and fellowship. After filling a bucket you can dump directly into a public trash bin or transfer into a yellow Community Cleanup bag back at the station.

Plan Your Own Drop!
Use the form at the bottom of the page to suggest a Drop location or request one in your neighborhood for the day. Organize a group of friends and create your very own Earth Day! We’ll help tailor your event with neighbors, teammates, coworkers, or other social groups who’d like to get involved. Simply reach out, request a day & time and we’ll make it happen.
