Litter Bit Better Registration

Spring LBB pickup will take place April 19-27, 2025.

February 24-28, 2025 registration start date.

You can make a difference during Litter Bit Better! Will you join in the effort? You can help by volunteering to pick up Rochester. This would be a great service project for a group such as households, families, neighborhoods, individuals, and workplaces.

Trash bags can be picked up the week before the event at the Government Center, 151 4th St SE, and the Development Services & Infrastructure Center, 4001 West River Pkwy NW.

Look at the map and complete the registration for the site number you would like to adopt and clean-up with your group or as an individual. Please note, this is a somewhat new process. The map updates in real-time.
