Mission

Cleaning our world up one block at a time! 

Bottom Line for Portland

Our 7,000 Block Ambassadors are making Portland cleaner. It takes all of us, participating and contributing where we can to change the trajectory of the city we love. Your contribution directly supports providing cleanup tools for your neighbors and friends who are doing their fair share and a little bit extra to make our blocks, neighborhood and city cleaner and happier.

“Terrific experience signing up. So simple, convenient, and personal. We are happy to be linked up with others committed to caring for our local stretches of this beautiful planet we get to call home." Holly P, Block Ambassador

"This is vital and we should do everything we can to support it." Chuck M, Block Ambassador

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We believe everyone, in all neighborhoods, regardless of socioeconomics should live in a clean, safe and inviting community. Our program aims to remove the many barriers in place with other cleanup models and to ensure that we all have an equal opportunity to care for the blocks, neighborhoods, and communities we all call home.

Business Partner(s)

Brainium: Founded and headquartered in Portland, Brainium makes some of the top classic card and puzzle games for mobile devices, with an uncommon focus on beautiful design, player experience, and craftsmanship. They believe that individuals have the power to solve meaningful problems, and even small groups of people (with a bit of help from great technology) can do immensely impactful things.

Smith Teamaker: In 2009, the signature blends of Steven Smith Teamaker were born in a Northwest Portland blacksmith's shop by none other than Steve Smith himself. It's only natural that a company begun by a true original would prize origin, mastery and imagination more than anything else.

Von Ebert Brewing: Local Independent Craft Brewery where tradition meets evolution in our beer, pub food that has been elevated, and always quality over quantity. Von Ebert Brewing’s Volatile Substance IPA, The Oregonian/OregonLive’s 2019 Beer of the Year, was named the top American IPA at the Great American Beer Festival September 2021!
