More About Trash Trekkers at Indiana Dunes National Park

Volunteer DAILY by meeting at the visitor center to help care for your local national park, and at the Douglas Center (weekends only).

Lend a hand in our drop-in litter cleanup program. Simply check in at the Visitor Center or Douglas Center to receive trash bags, then choose from one of our many beach areas or hiking trails to collect trash. Visitors are awarded with a free, reusable water bottle for filling up their bags. Please leave trash at a trash can on the site you hiked.

There will be temporary passes available for those volunteering during this event. For more information Click for Details
