Morphology
The meaning 'an organized activity where people gather to clean up an area' is directly and fully derivable from combining 'cleanup' (activity of cleaning) with 'event' (an occurrence or organized occasion). This simple noun+noun composition follows common English compounding patterns and will be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Cleanup event comes from the simple image of people meeting to clean up a place as part of an event, with volunteers using gloves and bags to pick up trash. So it means 'an organized activity where people gather to clean a particular area'.
