Event Description

We’re excited to announce the 23rd Annual Phillips Clean Sweep — a beloved event where neighbors from all four Phillips neighborhoods (Phillips West, Phillips East, Midtown Phillips, and Ventura Village) come together to clean, connect, and celebrate our vibrant community.

 

Each year, hundreds of residents gather for breakfast at Welna Hardware (2438 Bloomington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55404) before heading out to pick up litter on our neighborhood blocks. Thanks to our longstanding partnership with the City of Minneapolis Waste Management, the collected trash is picked up the same day, and residents receive an additional trash collection service. After the cleanup, neighbors reconvene for a free lunch and a Community Resource Fair, where local organizations share information, services, and ways to get involved.

​

Every year, neighborhoods pay for trucks to pick up extra household trash across the Phillips Community. You can put our household trash items for FREE.
