The Ohio State University Buck-I-SERV Cleanup Series.
Day 2, Neglect. Wednesday’s cleanup will focus on a neglected section of East Marginal Way which is a Port of Seattle perimeter road. Derelict train tracks next to the road are covered in trash and we will gather, bag and report as much as we can within this two hour cleanup. We started this Port cleanup on Earth Day and we welcome OSU students to partner with us on this important restorative work of creating a cleaner, safer environment.
We invite A Cleaner Alki community members to work side-by-side with the students to remove as much of this trash as we can.
We’ll stage and report our cleanup to Seattle Public Utilities Adopt a Street program for pick-up by city contractors.
The Buck-I-SERV Program
10 Ohio State students and their advisors will be visiting Seattle over the week of May 8-12 and participating in OSU’s Buck-I-SERV service program. A Cleaner Alki was reached out to for service opportunities in our local cleanup scene and we’ve designed a series of three afternoon cleanups that will touch on the program’s emphasis of self reflection, social justice and civic engagement.
Buck-I-SERV is Ohio State University's Alternative Break Program that began as a student initiative with one single trip to New York City in 2003. Since then, the program has grown to provide more than 80 trips per year to over sixteen states and five countries. The mission of Buck-I-SERV is to provide students with a challenging and engaging opportunity to lead and learn through direct service experiences. Their motto is: Travel. Learn. Serve.
