• Golden Heart Clean Up Day
    Saturday, May 16, 2026

    Clean-Up Day is a community-wide volunteer initiative to clean up the trash uncovered by melting snow in the Fairbanks North Star Borough before the summer tourism season begins. Grab some bags and join the fun—if you see neighbors cleaning an area you wanted, ask to join in and make new friends!

    Heavy Hauler Update: Routes are now assigned. If you clean an area not along a main road, please transport your secured bags to the FNSB landfill or move them to a main intersection by Saturday afternoon.
