NW Industrial Business Partner Cleanup — North Zone - LATE AFTERNOON

Friday, September 18, 2026 | 4:00–5:30 PM | LATE AFTERNOON EVENT

End your workday with a little community impact!

Join businesses, neighbors, and community partners for a collaborative cleanup of the North Zone of the NW Industrial District. We’ll focus on litter along key neighborhood streets, throughways, and entry points—helping make the district cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for everyone who lives, works, and travels through the area.

Whether you’re stepping away from the office for an afternoon reset or looking for a meaningful way to wrap up your workday, 90 minutes can make a big difference. Together, we can remove litter before it reaches our waterways, protect local wildlife, and show the power of businesses working together for their community.

Check-in & Supply Pickup:
Calbag Metals
2495 NW Nicolai St., Portland, OR 97210
