The 11th annual Earth Day Township Cleanup Event will be held Saturday, April 25, 2026

Each year dedicated volunteers gather together on a Saturday in April in honor of Earth Day for Waterford Township's Annual Earth Day Township Cleanup event.

Since the event’s inception in 2016, more than 400 volunteers have removed approximately 215 cubic yards of litter making the community look better and helping to protect our abundant waterways from becoming the final resting place for this harmful debris.Thank you to the many volunteers for your hard work and dedication to this important community project.


Thank you to our important partners in 2025 who also make it possible to keep costs to a bare minimum.

Priority Waste for donating the dumpster
McNab's Hardware for donating gloves and bags
Tenuta's Food Lane for donating bottled water
GFS for donating bottled water

Now seeking donations! Contact the Waterford Township Supervisor at 248-674-6201 or supervisor@waterfordmi.gov for donation information.


In addition to our dedicated volunteers who return each year, we'd love to welcome new volunteers to continue to grow the event and increase the impact we're having.
