We need you to help us clean up 25 billion pieces of litter and beautify 25,000 communities across America for her 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
2026 GREATEST AMERICAN CLEANUP
Greensboro Beautiful will be sponsoring litter cleanups the whole month of April. We hope you will join us for the greatest cleanup effort yet!
Organize your own cleanup with a group of 15 or fewer.
* Pickup litter cleanup supplies at Gateway Gardens - 2800 E. Gate City Blvd., Greensboro, NC 27401
* For more information, contact Greensboro Beautiful at (336) 574-3574 or [email protected]Â
How it works:
- Select a site to clean up from our online Litter Hot Spots map or suggest a cleanup site of your own.
- Sign up and let us know when you plan to clean up your selected site.
- Take pictures before and after your cleanup and post them to Greensboro Beautiful's Facebook or Instagram page. It's a great way to show what a difference we can make!
- After your cleanup, complete this survey to let us know how many bags were collected, how many people participated, and how long it took to complete your cleanup.
- Dispose of collected litter with normal trash, or request disposal assistance by emailing specific location of bagged and collected items to Greensboro Beautiful.
For more information or if you have questions,
email Alex Zaleski or Amanda Garner.
