The neighborhood clean-up program is an annual program available to registered neighborhoods in the City of Springfield. The City accepts applications for participation in the program on an annual basis, typically in July. The program is intended to reduce neighborhood clutter and nuisances and create a renewed sense of pride by providing dumpsters for neighborhood residents to dispose of items not typically allowed in routine trash disposal. These events currently run throughout the Spring & Fall seasons on Saturday mornings. They are coordinated by Community Partnership of the Ozarks in partnership with neighborhood clean-up coordinators.

Each neighborhood association appoints a designated Clean-Up Coordinator. The neighborhood Clean-Up Coordinator is responsible for securing an event location, such as a church parking lot, school parking lot or a local business, finding volunteers to work the event, and being present at the event.
