Looking Back at Project Mainstreet
Looking Back at Project Mainstreet
This popular and well-remembered program ran for more than 20 years. Project Mainstreet youths focused on cleaning up along major thoroughfares while learning important job skills like working as a team and interacting with supervisors and the public.
We can’t tell you how often the Brightside team meets someone whose first job was with Operation Brightside!


This vital program strengthened the need for on-going litter cleanup projects. At major intersections, look for our “Stop It! Don’t Drop It!” signs warning people of a $500 fine for littering!
Today, you can do your part and plan a litter pick-up for major streets in your neighborhood! Borrow litter grabbers, gloves, safety vests and request trash bags through our Blitz Registration Form!
