Community Partners Unite for Indio Hills Cleanup to Protect Our Desert

Volunteers invited to help combat illegal dumping on October 24
INDIO HILLS, CA — Community organizations, environmental advocates, and volunteers will unite for the Indio Hills Community Clean-Up on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., near the intersection of 42nd Avenue and Dillon Road.
Organized by New Earth Creator, Kiwanis Club of Palm Springs, Friends of the Desert Mountains, BGB Environmental Services, and other community organizations, the event aims to remove illegally dumped construction debris, furniture, clothing, and household waste from the desert landscape.
Illegal dumping threatens fragile desert habitats, endangers wildlife, and can contaminate watersheds and groundwater resources. Beyond removing debris, the cleanup seeks to raise awareness and inspire greater environmental responsibility.
