Green Lake Litter Patrol

Have fun, get some exercise, and do good in the park!

Doing good in the park since 2012.

Green Lake Litter Patrol is a volunteer litter control community service founded by G. Todd Young in July 2012. We walk the park every Sunday to gather as much litter as we can in 2 hours. So far, we have accumulated over 24,232 hours of volunteer service.

Our goal is to partner with our Green Lake neighbors to increase community, volunteerism, and education. We are endorsed by Seattle Parks & Recreation. Let’s meet up for a Litter Patrol.

Our beloved park needs our love and support!
