==Synopsis==
It's spring time in Butterfly Valley, but the whole area is filled with garbage thanks to the trolls, so the butterfly fairies are preparing to clean up their abode. However, the trolls are also cleaning up their kingdom from trash, as they turn Butterfly Valley into a junkyard…
==Plot==
Today, Butterfly Valley appears to be clean and tidy, with the flowers blooming, the butterfly fairies busy doing stuff, but one little butterfly fairy trips on a crushed ticn can. She picks it up and throws it to a garbage can.
The butterfly fairies gather up for the announcement of the Butterfly Valley Spring Clean-up, then they grab plastic bags and reach pickers, before heading out to pick up garbage.
Bluebell is helping her family to collect garbage around the playground. Spike finds an empty tissue box under the slide and thinks of making something useful, so he briefly went to make his homemade "Hyper Waste Basket" and return to show it to his family.
The family are impressed by Spike's new invention as he shows them how it works and successfully collected 5,000 pieces of trash, to his family's surprise.
Meanwhile at the community park in Sideview Beach, people are cleaning up as they pick up garbage that were littered all over the place.
Celia, who is picking up crushed aluminum cans, directs the kids as they pick up opened candy wrappers on the ground. Petunia wondered how long it takes to completely clean the park up, then Rose responded to her that having more people will help speed up the process.
Chip tries to grab an old, scrunched-up newspaper, but it keeps flying away from him, until Ernie helps him grab it.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards are pelting food around the court while playing something akin to snowball fight. King Boogieman came and was shocked when he finds the court now covered with food splats.
Queen Peregia came and was disgusted with the result, then some troll guards came with a pile of junk food and the monarchs scold them for littering the Great Troll Palace, before they return to their thrones. 
Frustrated with the tradition of picking up trash by hand, the troll guards decide to use their manipulation spells to collect garbage, but then, a troll guard throws an apple core to another, creating yet another mess in the Great Troll Palace and sending trash all over Butterfly Valley.
The butterfly fairies are cleaning up shops and restaurants when the owner of Famous Pizzas noticed a pile of junk flying down the restaurant’s outdoor area. There were soon more garbage flying over Butterfly Valley.
Bluebell and her family witness this and Spike telepathically calls Rose and Petunia for help, leading to the magic flower glowing in response. As she's about to collect a banana peel, Rose picks up the magic flower and Petunia almost slips on the peel as she comes near by.
Petunia reminds Rose not to leave a banana peel lying on the ground, then Rose tells her that the butterfly fairies need their help, so they tell their friends that they'll return in a few seconds and went to Butterfly Valley with the magic flower.
Rose asks Bluebell and her family what's happening and Spike points out that the garbage is raining over Butterfly Valley. The twins decide to use the manipulation spell to pick up all the trash and the barrier spell to put them in. They all converge the spells to send the garbage to the Troll Kingdom, where trash ends up covering much of the place, including the Great Troll Palace.
All the trolls, including King Boogieman and Queen Peregia, got stuck in a pile of trash and a few minutes later, they all clean up the Troll Kingdom by hand. The troll guards are all upset about this, but one of them throws an empty juice box to King Boogieman, who scolds the troll guards not to play around, then Queen Peregia fires an empty aluminum can to another troll guard and the trolls soon wage a garbage fight.
The butterfly fairies thanked the twins for their help and the butterfly fairy royal guards give them one silver badge each for their job.
Rose and Petunia bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and return home using the magic flower. The kids surprise the twins with the newly-cleaned-up community park and thank them for helping them collect garbage.
Sam, who's just finished his orange juice, throws the empty box away. The kids are shock about this, since it will end up being littered, but fortunately, it went into a garbage can and the kids are relieved by this as the episode ends with them discussing on how they keep their homes clean and tidy.
