AdoptOneBlock x 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

AdoptOneBlock x 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Launch Joint Program to Make Portland’s Great Comeback Story a Reality

(An Anonymous Donor Has Seeded the First $10,000)

Both organizations hear the collective frustration about how litter has inundated the community. Cost and complexity have prevented a scalable solution for our communities, until now. 

Starting this week, any Portland resident Block Ambassador with AdoptOneBlock who collects too much litter from their blocks can email [email redacted] for a pick up.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? will schedule a pickup for FREE within 24 hours of the Block Ambassadors request. AdoptOneBlock will cover all pick up costs at a discounted rate so both organizations can be in support of the heroes in our community who are doing the hard work to make our city a cleaner and happier place.

Your contribution to this GoFundMe campaign will empower this innovative approach to cleaning up our beloved city by providing the necessary funds to facilitate litter pick-ups between AOB Ambassadors and 1-800-GOT-JUNK? crews.

The founder of AdoptOneBlock is passionate about finding a solution that works: He has committed to match dollar for dollar the next $10,000.00 raised to clean up our city.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? has pioneered an industry that brings people and businesses relief by making their junk disappear.
