Volunteer cleanup walks run twice-monthly in Chelsea; organizers welcome new participants
Summary
Chelsea Hill Community leaders say cleanup walks now run on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays at 10 a.m., with summer Wednesday walks added; organizers encourage residents to join in person and nominate streets for focused cleanups.
The Chelsea Hill Community holds regular cleanup and safety walks and asks participants to bring local street requests to the walks. "We meet, like you said, twice a month," cofounder Monica Elias said; host Marnie McAlpine added that in 2024 some walks drew "anywhere from 16 to over two dozen people." The group said summer schedules sometimes add a 4th-Wednesday walk and that locations vary by event.
Organizers urged residents to come to a walk if they want a specific street cleaned rather than only posting requests online. Elias said volunteers often coordinate through social media or a WhatsApp group and will queue streets for future walks. "If you come and participate … we’ll go to the streets that you’re recommending," Elias said.
