Scottsdale Road Scenic Drive Roadside Cleanup - Sat., Jan. 11, 8 A.M.

Posted By The Peak on Oct 18, 2019

Help keep Scottsdale beautiful.

Picking up litter is more enjoyable than you would expect, and there will be at least 13 miles of roadside (6 1/2 miles on each side) that will look terrific. Friends of Scenic Drive, one of the founding groups, has part of Scottsdale’s Adopt-A-Road Program in 1996. Snowbird, visitor or full-time resident – it matters not – you are welcome and important to our environment. The cleanup takes less than two hours, from 8:00 – 9:45 a.m. on October 26, 2019.
