Keep Cincinnati Beautiful State Roadway Cleanup
With millions passing through Cincinnati every month, potholes and heavy traffic aren’t our only problems.Would you like to know that your concerns about highway litter are being answered? Are you ready to be a part of the solution?
The Ohio Department of Transportation and Keep Cincinnati Beautiful have promised to clean up our city’s ten dirtiest entry and exit ramps, but we need your help!
For years, volunteers with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful and the Ohio Department of Transportation have been working to keep litter off of our Ohio State roadways. This year, as a part of the annual State Roadway Cleanup on March 27th, we’re asking for your help in choosing the cleanup locations! The results will be used to mobilize volunteers during the State Roadway Cleanup, an extension of the nationwide Great American Cleanup.
HOW CAN I VOTE? You can submit your pick for the dirtiest exit or entry ramp by clicking here. All locations must be within the I-275 loop and be on/or connected to an Ohio State highway. Photos can be submitted via email by clicking here. The last day to submit your pick is March 15th.
CAN I HELP WITH THE CLEANUP? You are also invited to be a part of the solution by volunteering on Saturday, March 27th for the annual State Roadway Cleanup, a partnership between Keep Ohio Beautiful and the Ohio Department of Transportation. To volunteer in the Cincinnati area, you can either complete the online volunteer form or submit your pick for a cleanup location. Once your volunteer form has been submitted and accepted, you will be sent a confirmation email with complete event details and volunteer information. Please allow two weeks to process your volunteer form.
Volunteers will receive a $1 coupon for the Cincinnati Museum Center’s new Omnimax film: Under the Sea and are eligible to receive one of five pairs of tickets that will be raffled off during the event kick-off.
