Each year around Earth Day, RNA hosts its Neighborhood Clean Up Day, in which we hit every block in our community to collect litter. Each month on the Second Sunday, we also host a Clean-Up Power Hour from 9am-10am, meeting at Leland/Ravenswood, at the south entrance to the Metra station.
Please join us for our next Neighborhood Clean Up Day on Saturday, April 18th, 2026 from 9am -12pm! Meet us at Ravenswood & Sunnyside (the west side of the Metra tracks) to participate in our neighborhood event for Chicago’s Citywide Clean & Green Day of Service. We have trash pickers, bags, gloves, and safety vests. Be sure to wear comfy shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. If you are a student or a scout needing service hours, please join us!
In 2025, the Ravenswood Neighbors Association joined forces with over 80 neighbors, students, and local politicians to grab a coffee, chat with neighbors, and pick up over 1,178 pounds of trash in our streets, alleys, and train corridors. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to help keep Ravenswood beautiful!
