Winter with SOLVE is here—a time to give back, show up, and bring the warmth outside. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, our focus shifts to caring for the places that sustain our communities all year long.
Whether you're staying close to home, gathering with coworkers, or bundling up for a coastal walk, there’s a project waiting for you. From removing litter in urban spaces to planting native trees while the ground is soft, your actions help keep our neighborhoods, parks, and coastlines healthy through the winter season.
Every season brings new opportunities to care for the environment.
Collaboration powers every project, every season.
We're proud to partner with community groups, nonprofits, businesses, and dedicated volunteers who bring warmth and momentum to Winter with SOLVE. Together, we tackle winter litter cleanups, restore natural areas, support recycling efforts, and strengthen community connections during the colder months. Here are just a few of the partners powering our winter efforts.
Through our partnership with OBRC, SOLVE hosts monthly Community Cleanup & Recycling events at BottleDrop locations statewide. Volunteers remove litter in rotating neighborhoods, while collected bottles and cans are recycled through the BottleDrop Blue Bag program to support SOLVE’s mission. This collaboration helps reduce waste, recover valuable materials, and keep communities cleaner throughout the winter season. Want to support sustainability this winter?
The Rotary Club of Newport led a 59-day effort on Agate Beach, removing confetti-like debris, difficult to capture yet harmful to coastal ecosystems. Their commitment to daily cleanups, youth engagement, and community education strengthens year-round efforts to keep Oregon’s beaches healthy. As King Tides wash debris ashore, their work highlights the importance of continued coastal cleanups and the role volunteers play in protecting marine environments.

SOLVE is grateful for the continued support of Lithia & Driveway, an annual corporate partner powering Oregon Spring Cleanup and Earth Day events. This year, they went above and beyond. Their teams hosted cleanups in Bend, Medford, and Springfield, and joined us at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, mobilizing 150 volunteers statewide. Want to energize your team this winter?
