We Are More Than
Litter Picker Upers

Redd Up Altoona is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run entirely by community volunteers. We believe a clean city is a proud city — and it starts with us.

🗑️
Street Cleanups
Regular scheduled pickups throughout Altoona's neighborhoods. Small groups, big impact — every piece of litter counts.
🤝
Connecting the Community
We bring neighbors together. Every cleanup is a chance to meet the people who care about the same streets you walk every day.
🌳
Improving the Public Space
Improving the Public Space is more than just picking up litter. We raise money for projects that invite people to walk our city streets, keep them clean, and improve the appeal of our neighborhoods. This includes installing benches, garbage cans, landscaping, and so much more.
📋
Community Service Hours
Whether a senior working toward graduation, a person living in a housing program, or someone who got into trouble with the law, we offer a fun and accessible way to complete those sometimes necessary community service hours.
