Earth Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by making a real impact in your community? On April 22 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, Odd Dog and Diaper Stork are hosting a Fremont trash pick-up event — and we want you to be part of it. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Earth Day and give back to our beloved neighborhood!
When: April 22, 2025, from 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Where: Meet at the corner of North 36th & Palatine, Fremont, WA
What to Expect: We’ll provide all the necessary supplies, such as trash bags and gloves, to help with the clean-up. There will also be snacks, refreshments, and music to bop around to while we work! If you can’t make it at noon, no problem. We’ve got takeaway options, so you can pitch in whenever (and wherever – other neighborhoods need some love, too!) works for you.
Whether you’re new to Fremont or a long-time resident, this is a great opportunity to get involved, give back, and make a real impact. Plus, it’s an excuse to get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and meet some new, like-minded people. Oh, and did we mention the snacks?
Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22, is a global event focused on environmental protection and raising awareness about the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. It began in 1970 as a response to growing concerns about pollution and the environment. Since then, it has evolved into a worldwide movement, with millions of people participating in Earth Day activities each year.
The goal of Earth Day is to inspire individuals, communities, and organizations to take meaningful action to reduce their environmental impact. Whether it’s recycling, reducing waste, planting trees, or participating in local clean-up events, every effort counts. This year, we invite you to make a difference by joining us for the Fremont trash pick-up event — not just to tidy up the area, but to serve as a public reminder that it takes a village of committed participants to care for the environment in which we live.
Can’t make it or want to do even more? There are tons of amazing organizations working hard to protect the planet that would love your support. Check out these groups you can donate to, all focused on sustainability and environmental protection:
