Merchant City and Trongate Community Council (MCTCC) is organizing the event on Saturday, April 13.
According to them, picking up the litter is a reminder that keeping the area clean and tidy is the responsibility of everyone who “lives there or works there, or visits it”.
Volunteers will be provided with litter pickers, gloves, disinfectants and bags.
A spokesperson for MCTCC said: “Merchant City is one of Glasgow’s most admired and visited areas.
“Collecting our litter is another reminder that keeping it clean and tidy is the responsibility of everyone who lives there or works there, or visits it.
“Glasgow City Council’s hardworking staff do their best to keep it clean and tidy, but much more needs to be done throughout the year by residents and visitors.
“We will make a noticeable difference in the short term, but a transplant of a few hours by volunteers is far from the complete solution.”
Volunteers are asked to meet at the entrance to Ramshorn Church on Ingram Street at 10am on Saturday, April 13.
Litter selection is expected to continue until 12:00.
