Keep Texas Beautiful is proud to participate in Keep America Beautiful’s GreatAmerican Cleanup (GAC), the nation’s largest community improvement program, taking place annually each spring from March through May.
Here is everything you need to know for a successful spring cleanup: What:
The GreatAmerican Cleanup is a program to support the efforts of KTB and Keep America Beautiful Affiliates, nonprofits, volunteers, corporations, scout groups, and communities to join forces and beautify communities through beautification events, recycling events, litter cleanups, and more!
Where:
GreatAmerican Cleanup events can take place in any public area in your community needing some attention. We recommend parks, schools, main streets/downtown, watershed areas, and roadways.
Monthly Cleanup Themes To help inspire events in your community, we've created monthly themes.
• March: Waterways Cleanup Month Kicks off on the first Saturday in March with the Great Texas River Cleanup.
• April: Don’t mess with Texas Trash-Off The program supports efforts to clear Texas roadsides of litter and includes cleanups taking place April 1-30.
• May: Parks and Trails Month Beautify public spaces in your community.
These themed months are not required and any event or project conducted from March 1—May 31, regardless of the focus, will be counted towards the Great American Cleanup and eligible for free supplies. Questions about our cleanups or themed months? Contact Karen at <ktbcleanup@ ktb.org>.
