Great American Clean Up Yard Sign

Join Greensboro Beautiful as we work statewide with Keep North Carolina Beautiful and other Keep America Beautiful affiliates in communities across the state for the Greatest American Cleanup, the nation’s largest ever community improvement initiative in celebration of America's 250th Anniversary!

 

DATE: Saturday, March 28th or April 11th!

HOW TO JOIN?

  • Get a small group of 15 or less.
  • 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 between February 1-28.
  • Pick up your supplies at 2800 E. Gate City Blvd. in the vending machine area on the right side of the building. Supplies will be labeled and sorted based on your group.
  • 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!
  • Sort recyclables and dispose of collected litter with normal trash, or request disposal assistance by emailing specific location of bagged and collected items to Greensboro Beautiful. Styrofoam and glass recycling can be dropped off at Gateway Gardens or any of the many styrofoam locations throughout the city.
