Please help give back to the community in which you live, work and play! Join Keep Columbus Beautiful and partners for a neighborhood highway ramp cleanup on Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 8:30am-2:00pm!
Our primary goal will be to clean all the litter from adopted ramp areas and remove all the cigarette butts. We are proud to say that all collected butts will be provided to CBL Recycle, LLC., Parent Company of InnovaGreen Systems, Inc., the utility patented industry leader in recycling cigarette litter.
We have a new larger venue this year, all participants will meet at Wolfe Park, 1911 E Broad Street at 8:30am the day of the clean up. Teams will gather to meet, eat, greet, and form their team assignments. After group safety briefings, a brief warm up, and greeting, teams will travel to their assigned ramp location and cleanup the ramp site.
We are looking for Team Leaders, General Volunteers, and Sponsoring Groups who wish to adopt a ramp site. If you are a group who participated last year and would like to do so again this year by adopting a ramp please complete the short survey found at this link.
Sponsoring Groups- Any GROUP may sponsor and adopt a ramp. The responsibility of sponsoring a ramp site means a group promotes participation in KickButtColumbus and commits to bringing a team to the event to help cleanup the ramp. Sponsoring groups may also be paired up with another sponsoring group if needed to ensure each ramp site has a full compliment to do the job. A sponsoring group may need to provide team leaders, and coordinate with KickButt management to ensure all logistical needs are addressed. Ramp sponsors will have their participation highlighted on the registration page under the News and Updates column. Available ramp sites may be viewed at the KickButtColumbus 2013 site document found here. Note: This document will be updated daily until all site locations have been adopted out. Once your group has selected a site, please e-mail keepcolumbusbeautiful@columbus.gov or call 645-8047 to confirm your ramp site selection.
Team Leaders will be responsible for executing the cleanup of the ramp site and for finding team participants. Responsibilities include: providing teams their equipment, review of safety guidelines, gathering data and communication with launch site personnel. Team Leaders are asked to arrive at Wolfe Park by 8AM for an important briefing.
General Volunteers- if you live near one of the ramp interchanges listed on the site document below and would like to join the adopting group at that ramp, please sign up now and select the location you're interested in. If your selection on the "drop down menu" is marked N/A meaning the site is filled, please inform KCB at 645-2421 and see what your options are.
Please help us by spreading the word! Download a brochure about the event and share with your friends and even come as a team. We encourage you to link to your Facebook or Twitter page. Who should you recruit?
- Family
- Friends
- Employees
- Fraternities, Sororities, student organizations
- Blockwatches, Civic Groups, and non-profit memberships
- Churches
- Businesses
This event is open to the public. Participants must be 12 years or older. If you do not have a team affiliation or a site preference we will assign you to a team.
All Team Leaders are required to view the safety video below. All supplies including trash bags, safety vests, pick-up sticks, site maps, liability forms, safety instructions and details on where trash bags will be collected shall be provided by Keep Columbus Beautiful.
The Golden Ashtray award will be awarded at the end of the event. And there will be a cookout between 1-2PM for event participants.
Sign up today and join us for the fun!
