Similar to 'adopt-a-spot', the City of Emeryville has free equipment for loan including trash grabbers, pails, bags, rakes and trowels for groups wanting to do one-time or ongoing cleanups. If you have a group of 5+ people interested in conducting a cleanup, please contact zerowaste@emeryville.org for more details.
