Help Clean Up Our Public Spaces

Organize a litter pickup event with town support

Post Date:January 07, 2026 2:00 p.m.
Adults and children, many wearing safety vests, stand behind several large black trash bags filled with litter on a street corner
Volunteers piled their litter collection at U.S. 70A and Tuscarora Drive in 2023.

Interested in a volunteer service opportunity? Consider participating with the town’s volunteer litter removal program.

The Hillsborough Public Space and Sustainability Division provides bags, grabbers, gloves and safety vests. The Public Works Division will pick up the waste that is collected within town limits.

It is especially helpful to clear roadsides before spring mowing begins.

Group Activity, Service Project

Gather a group of neighbors or other friends and plan a route that is convenient for you.
