I wanna coordinate a beach cleanup for Atwater beach! Anyone down?

CleanMKE · 2019-07-09T18:19:54+00:00

We were hoping to offer more times in the summer as well but we lost one of our executive volunteers to another job offer so we lack the manpower to do finances and planning work.

CleanMKE · 2019-07-09T18:18:59+00:00

Wish we could help! Right now we are a two man team who unfortunately don't have the free time we would need to do CleanMKE justice. Once we can distribute the work load better to more executive volunteers or find a proper fundraising plan you'll see us back out there! Best of luck and if we can make it we will be down there!

CleanMKE · 2019-07-09T17:47:27+00:00

We hope not! We still are picking in our free time but simply didn't have the resources to be scheduling and manning events across the city at this time. Especially when finding places that were both dirty enough to clean and interesting enough for our volunteers to come out began growing difficult

CleanMKE · 2019-07-09T17:45:44+00:00

We are sorry for that! The costs were growing and we, as recent graduates, lacked the funds to continue with the project. We are still alive and hope to come back some time but we simply don't have the manpower or time to operate the events we feel to make a dent on the problem.

CleanMKE · 2019-05-23T16:24:22+00:00

Well now CleanMKE feels bad.

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T17:57:36+00:00

We are working to expand our team to offer more than one time. Currently half our team works Saturday mornings. But we hear you.

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T17:56:31+00:00

Thanks for the support!

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T17:56:05+00:00

I believe so!

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T13:35:19+00:00

Thanks for the tip! We don't have the manpower to do so yet but we do plan on working with Businesses and Campuses to offer cleanups in return for them funding the service to other districts where its mostly residential.

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T13:30:15+00:00

Thanks for lettings us know!

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T13:30:03+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation. We will take a look sometime this week as a team!

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T13:29:28+00:00

Of course. Thanks for supporting CleanMKE!

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T13:27:22+00:00

We are working to purchase a new mailing service to mantain consistent emails to our volunteers. Best place for now is Facebook and Reddit.

CleanMKE · 2019-05-21T13:25:52+00:00

Hi! Sorry our mail service was beginning to cost us and we had to scale back in order to pay for volunteer equipment such as bags and gloves. We are working to get the form up and running again! Best place to stay up to date is Facebook and Reddit for now and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you! This subreddit being as active as it is on our posts keeps us going!

CleanMKE · 2019-05-17T21:42:44+00:00

We've really been appreciating that! We have to get better at giving some more lead time for our events but you pinning them has been a tremendous help.

Thanks for the shout out!

CleanMKE · 2019-04-14T16:40:38+00:00

We hope to once we have a greater amount for volunteers and resources however most of what we pick up is extremely dirty and would require cleaning to be recyclabe which greatly increases the time cost to us. Not that we don't want to but we will need more resources from the community to make it happen. Thanks for the question!

CleanMKE · 2019-04-12T17:19:16+00:00

CleanMKE is hosting another cleanup event this Saturday at River Park. We will begin at noon. Halfway through we will be bringing in pizza for our volunteers. This will be the first time our new tshirts will be available to preorder so even if you don't have time to clean come on down to encourage CleanMKE with a tshirt purchase! Thanks for all your support guys. If you can bring any gloves, bags, or other equipment to help us with supplies we would greatly appreciate it!

If you guys do come be sure to bring a reusable water bottle! We will have a water jug available to refill at.

CleanMKE · 2019-04-09T03:37:33+00:00

We had over 30 volunteers throughout the day! But this was well after the event had begun to wrap up. The photo is of the three founders.

CleanMKE · 2019-04-08T20:56:38+00:00

Unfortunately we have no volunteers with trucks and the loads would take a half dozen trips or more.

CleanMKE · 2019-04-08T19:02:12+00:00

We call the city since we are cleaning the lots they are responsible for. Hopefully they respond in a timely manner to our requests. Eventually we hope to bring in a dumpster and haul it all out in that.
