Become a Block Ambassador

Are you a resident in Oregon or Washington and committed to keeping your neighborhood litter-free? Join over 10,000 others as a Block Ambassador by adopting up to two square blocks. As a Block Ambassador, you’ll clean up the block(s) you’ve adopted when and how you want, with litter removal supplies we deliver to you for free.

We’ve found that the average Block Ambassador cleans up litter about once per month. We just ask that you to commit for one year on a schedule that is most convenient for you. We are happy to provide a trash grabber, trash bags or bucket, gloves, and if necessary, sharps medical containers - all FREE to make it super easy to get started.

Testimonials

  • "I have been given so much positive feedback about the program when I'm out doing clean up. I can't count the number of smiles, waves, and thumbs ups I've gotten. It really is a program of community connection - something we are in desperate need of right now."

  • "I'm so proud being a part of this local group and have gratitude for those who want to make a difference in this beautiful place we call home!"

  • "My wife and I always have walked our dog. We began on our own, but then I heard of your program on the radio. Signed up for the tools which are amazing! We joking tell each other we are now paid to exercise. "

  • "I think our neighbors see that I pick up trash and they do more now too. Thank you for such a wonderful community oriented organization. Truly empowering."

  • "We found lost important-looking mail once and a lost pup another time. We were able to return them to owners! It felt so good!"

  • "If we don't do it.. who will??"

  • "Sometimes I get the kids in our neighborhood to help pick-up trash and we turn it into a game. My hope is that they learn that they CAN have a positive impact on their neighborhood, their city, their world. Our mark is small, but together with others I know it adds up. Keep it growing!"

  • "Having the supplies on hand has made it so much easier to keep my block clean and help the neighborhood."

  • "I love the community and camaraderie of the AOB group! Of course, cleaning up my neighborhood is a huge sense of pride."
