Carmel Citizens for a Cleaner City is looking for dedicated volunteers to join our frontline efforts in keeping our community pristine. Our goal is simple but vital: To remove motorists' discarded litter from our streets, thereby improving the City's cleanliness and health.
Job Description: Route Teams
We are seeking proactive two-person teams to take ownership of specific sections of Carmel’s primary roads. This is a hands-on role dedicated to reclaiming our streets from transit-related waste.
- Minimum Age: 14-16 years with Adult Supervision (one team member at least 18 yrs).
- Route takes 30mins - 2 hours
Your Role & Responsibilities:
Debris Removal: Teams will cover a designated route to remove plastic and glass bottles, cans, fast food waste, and larger items such as hubcaps and commercial packaging (where possible).
Route Selection: At our Introductory Meeting, teams will use a new app and/or physical maps to choose their specific territory.
Example: Team A may choose 136th Street (Towne Rd to Springmill Ave), while Team B selects River Road (116th St to 146th St).
Waste Disposal: Volunteers have the option to weigh and place collected items in their personal recycling bins or deliver the haul to a designated central location for weighing.
Why Join the CCCC?
Friendly Competition: Teams can choose to compete for the "Most Trash Collected" title, with potential awards for our top cleaners.
Community Service Credit: All hours can be officially documented through your Volunteer Portal. This is an excellent way to earn "credit" for class projects, scouting badges, or community service requirements.
Direct Impact: You aren't just cleaning a street; you are protecting Carmel’s health and maintaining the high standards of our world-class community.
How to Get Started
Join us for our upcoming Introductory Meeting to pick your route and meet your fellow volunteers. TBD
