The Great American Cleanup is now under way. The national cleanup event with a local connection runs now through May 31.
Keep Greene Beautiful, local affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, is looking for churches, clubs, organizations, businesses and industries to join in and volunteer. Volunteers are asked to participate by beautifying and cleaning up our community. To bring awareness to the local litter collection efforts and to inspire others to join, participants are asked to share before and after pictures of their cleanup project to the Greene County Partnership’s Facebook page with the hashtag #cleanupgreene.
The group that collects the most trash during the three-month period will be awarded $50 for their organization. Individuals are encouraged to participate as well with the top individual being awarded a prize. Trash bags and latex gloves are available for participating groups and can be picked up at the Greene County Partnership office at 115 Academy Street.
