Upcoming Events:

Summer Citywide Cleanup: July 15-16, 2023

Biannual Cleanup Week

Keep Hopewell Beautiful, in partnership with the Hopewell Public Works Department, hosts a Citywide Cleanup Week in the fall and spring each year. During this week, Hopewell residents may dispose of trash at no charge at the Citizen’s Convenience Center.

Note: The following items will not be accepted at the Citizen Convenience Center: concrete, masonry, garbage (items normally disposed of in your trash toter), paint of any kind, batteries, automobile motors, and hazardous waste materials. Tires are limited to four (4) per citizen and eight (8) per household, and they must be separated from the rim. The usual $10.00 fee for the removal of Freon to dispose of appliances still applies.

Adopt-A-Street/Spot

Keep Hopewell Beautiful’s Adopt-a-Street/Spot is a program through which citizens, businesses, nonprofits, and civic organizations commit to picking up trash on their “adopted” street four times per year.

Interested in adopting a street or spot?

Before your cleanup, request your cleanup supplies from the Department of Development Office.
Report your activity to the Department of Development. We keep track of all of the volunteer hours and the amount of litter our volunteers pick up as part of the DEQ grant that supports the program.
