Great American Cleanup

Get Involved!

  • The Great American Cleanup gives individuals and groups the opportunity to improve our community by picking up litter and/or beautifying any public place in Clark County.
  • The Cleanup runs from March 1 through May 31.
  • Public places include parks, roadsides, school yards, playgrounds, and waterways.
  • Keep Clark County Beautiful will provide two trash bags and a pair of gloves for each volunteer. KCCB also can help with litter pickup, if needed.
  • Anyone can participate: school groups, Scouts, clubs, churches, businesses, neighborhood groups, or anyone who wants to Keep Clark County Beautiful.

    • Register Now!

    Groups and individuals need to fill our a simple registration form to receive their supplies. You can download a copy of the registration form by clicking here.

    Win a Prize

    Each group is asked to return a completed survey that tells where you did your cleanup, lists who participated, and other information. These surveys help us to report on the effectiveness of the Great American Cleanup, which encourages donors and sponsors to get involved with us. When a group completes a survey, everyone who participated in its cleanup is entered in a prize drawing. You could win movie tickets, gift cards, free meals, and more.
