Safety and FAQ

What to expect at a cleanup

What happens at a cleanup, and the rules that keep everyone safe.

  • Gloves for everyone

    Everyone wears gloves while picking up litter. ReSpool provides them.

  • Stay with a buddy

    You pair up with a buddy and stay together the whole time.

  • Never touch sharps or needles

    Never pick up needles or other sharp items by hand. Flag them so they can be reported to the city.

  • Bottles become filament

    Clear PET #1 bottles, like water and pop bottles, are kept to make 3D-printing filament. Other recyclables are sorted for proper disposal.

Step 1 of 6 Bottles start at a community cleanup. See all six steps.
