Please visit the DCALI Facebook, www.facebook.com/DearbornCountyAntiLitterInitiative if interested in volunteering and for additional details. Updated information on each clean-up will be posted periodically.

In 2024, DCALI had a record number of volunteers, and some clean-ups took less time than planned.

It’s also a volunteer opportunity for student community service. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

DCALI thanks the Dearborn County Sheriff’s Office, Dearborn County Highway Department, Bright Fire Department and Miller-York Fire Department for their continued assistance for many years.
