Application

To borrow cleanup supplies, you must fill out a Supply Request Form completely and accurately. Include your contact information as well as the quantity of supplies you are requesting. You can:

Picking up equipment

After you submit the application, a CPP representative will contact you to schedule a pick-up time from our warehouse. Our warehouse is located at 4000 N. American St. Enter on Luzerne Street.

Arrive on time to pick up the equipment, and make sure your vehicle has enough room for the supplies. You must present a valid ID with address along with your completed form before we can issue the tools.

Cleanup day

We've put together a list of best practices to help you run an effective cleanup.

Supply pick-up times are Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you requested it, CPP will coordinate the trash pickup.

After the cleanup is over, place bagged trash on the nearest corner to the cleanup site. CPP will only pick up bagged trash from locations that have been agreed on before the cleanup. Do not overfill trash bags with debris because they may break open.

Returning equipment

You must return all equipment no later than the Wednesday after the pick-up date. Supply drop off times are Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you need more time to return the tools, you must request it by resubmitting the CPP form.
