Established by Keep America Beautiful, Inc., the nation’s premier litter prevention and education organization, in partnership with state and local affiliates such as ours, the Great American Cleanup™ is our country’s largest annual cleanup, beautification and community improvement program. Each year, millions of volunteers in over 15,000 communities across the country take part in this program. This program provides a high-profile platform for activities that meet specific local needs, including recycling litter cleanups, litter prevention education, recycling drives, graffiti removal, beautification and community improvement projects, park renewals, clothes collection programs, river, lake and seashore cleanups, etc.

This year, more than two million volunteers are expected to participate in the Great American Cleanup™ nationwide.  Keep Sarasota County Beautiful is seeking hundreds of local volunteers for our Great American Cleanup™ activities, which will run from 8 a.m.  – noon on Saturday, April 27.
