City of Redmond - Parks & Recreation Volunteering

Support our environment and help keep the community safe by clearing the sidewalk drains of debris in your neighborhood!

We're asking you to walk to the end of your street and help prevent flooding and pollution by clearing storm drains of leaves and other debris.

Only clear drains if it is safe to do so!
If a storm drain appears blocked below the street surface, contact Redmond Utilities at 425-556-2152.

Tools you'll need:
-Yard waste bin. (You need to haul the debris away, just sweeping the debris aside is a short term solution!)
-Garbage bag to store any trash that might not belong in the yard waste bin.
-Gloves
-A broom, rake, or shovel (these are all optional but can be helpful!)

Email us OFH@redmond.gov or DM us @old_fire_house_teen_center
a picture of your drain before and after (try and be in the picture!)
Please include any social media @mentions if you'd like to be tagged in the post.

Drain clearing can be done any time between now and April 20th
All before and after pictures must be submitted by 8pm on 4/20.

Teens submitting pictures can earn the following service hours:
1 hour for every drain cleared with before and after phone!
