// Our story

Give back to the city that gives back.

Indy Street Sweep is a neighbor-led cleanup crew. Five smaller sweeps a year, one big citywide morning every July, and a simple idea behind all of it: show up for the place that shows up for you.

// Why we sweep

A city that looks out for its own.

Indianapolis is a giving city. People here look out for each other, and you’re about one introduction away from knowing just about anyone.

So we grab brooms, bags, and gloves and take care of the blocks we all share. Two hours, a cleaner neighborhood, and a few more people you know by name.

// The rhythm

Five sweeps a year, plus one big one.

Neighborhood sweeps

Smaller cleanups spread across the year, moving through the parts of the city that need a hand. Two hours, all supplies provided, just bring your crew.

The big citywide sweep

Every July it all builds to one morning: hundreds of neighbors, 20+ rally points, one city cleaned up together. Next up Saturday, July 17, 2027.

Real mornings, real neighbors.
