Clean Up and Step Out: Join the Movement to Beautify Downtown Kenosha

There’s something special about strolling through a clean, vibrant downtown and this summer and fall, you have a chance to help make that magic happen!

The Lakeshore Business Improvement District, in partnership with Kenosha Trash Trotters and the inspiring students of Harborside Academy, invites community members to roll up their sleeves and join a series of Saturday morning Downtown Clean-Up Events. These monthly gatherings are more than just about tidying up they’re about coming together, building community pride, and ensuring our city shines for residents and visitors alike.

Here’s your chance to pitch in and have fun while doing good.

The clean-ups take place one Saturday each month, starting bright and early at 9:00 AM and wrapping up around 10:30 AM. The Trash Trotters will be onsite starting at 8:30 AM — just look for their signature flag and a friendly face!

Upcoming Clean-Up Dates & Meeting Spots:

June 14 – Trecroci Realty, 522 56th Street

July 12 – Wooden Chair Antiques, 5710 4th Ave.

August 9 – Salon on Sixth, 5038 6th Ave.

September 13 – Sallese & Co., 709 56th Street

October 11 – Blue House Books, 5915 6th Ave. A

Whether you’re a local business owner, a student, a parent, or someone who just loves our lakeside city, this is a wonderful opportunity to give back in a hands-on way.

Supplies including gloves, trash pickers, and bags will be provided. Just dress for the weather and bring your enthusiasm. Volunteers must be 18 or older or accompanied by a parent or guardian who will remain for the entire event.
