Team Member Resources

Welcome to the Team! 🌿

We're so glad you're here. Every bag of litter you pick up makes Hot Springs Village a cleaner, more beautiful place for all of us — thank you for being part of that!

About Our KIC Program

KIC stands for Keep It Clean — our ongoing effort to maintain five major Village roads:

• All of DeSoto Blvd

• Ponce (from DeSoto at ReMax to Hwy 5)

• Balearic (from Ponce to Murillo Way)

Current KIC teams: Boomer's Rock · Evening Lions · Pickup Crew · Balboa Yacht Club · Village Church of Christ · and two Litter Grabber teams

Not Into Organized Cleanups? No Problem!

That's what our Litter Grabbers are all about. Toss a bag in your pocket on your next walk or hike and pick up as you go — it all counts! Many Litter Grabbers also sub in when a team is short on volunteers, and quite a few have joined a team full-time. There's a place for everyone here.

Cleanup Day: What to Know

• Events are held Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays

• Start early — most volunteers are on the road by 8am to avoid traffic

• Walk facing traffic for your safety

• Save your team leader's phone number in your contacts before you head out

• If weather or a conflict comes up, check with your leader about rescheduling to another day earlier that same week

After Your Section Is Done

Report these four things to your team leader:

1. 🛍️ Number of filled (and partially filled) bags

2. ⏱️ Hours spent picking up litter (travel time doesn't count)

3. 🚫 Any heavy items left behind (tires, construction debris) and their location

4. ⚠️ Any downed or damaged signs and their location

Questions? Reach Out Anytime!
