Fun, Fast & Easy Volunteering
Meet like-minded volunteers and join efforts to actively better our community. Pickups are scheduled for one hour only, together we can do a lot in 60 minutes! All supplies are provided, like grabber tools that make picking litter up kinda fun instead of being a chore. If the weather isn't cooperating, we won't hesitate to reschedule the pickup for another day.
Broken Windows Theory
If litter in an area is accepted and common, more litter is likely to accumulate! A neighborhood full of litter is more likely to harbor crime as well. Our efforts with area beautification will not only offset mindless littering, but also decrease the city's crime. Fight with us to keep El Paso beautiful and safe.

-Since our first group pickup in June 2024.

Volunteer of the Month
Yvette
Meet Yvette, a proud El Paso native and Sun City Picker!
After 25 years living in Austin,TX, she returned home-ultimately to be closer to family. Yvette has 20 years of experience in Clinical Research and actively volunteers with SCP and Frontera Land Alliance. Her dedication to picking up trash began while living in Austin, with a trail running group, and continued once she moved back to El Paso. After discovering SCP on Instagram, she joined forces with us and has been faithfully at our pickups ever since.
With so much keeping her busy, Yvette still makes it a point to attend free yoga classes that are offered downtown at the El Paso History Museum. She also actively participates in several running and cycling groups and plans to run the prestigious Run Internancional 10K that is hosted by both the US and Mexico annually. The event is in its 10th year and our little bordertown host runners from all over the world who attend. https://International10k.com/race/about
We're grateful to Yvette's support and to all our volunteers with Sun City Pickers!
Community Water Station Program
- Free, Easily Accessible Water for the Community
- Reduces the amount of single use plastic bottles & styrofoam cups
We’re pumped to announce our community water station program! The program’s main purpose is to provide free, easily accessible water to those who need it, especially those most vulnerable to the summer desert heat. An added bonus is reducing the amount of single use plastic water bottles and styrofoam cups, two of the most common pieces of litter we see.
