Great American Cleanup
In April, join two million volunteers across the country and
help clean up your community! The Great American
Cleanup is an annual, nationwide, community improvement
campaign started by Keep America Beautiful in 1999. Each
April, thousands of Georgians celebrate Keep Georgia
Beautiful Month by cleaning, restoring, and beautifying
their communities as part of the Cleanup. In 2005, more than
38,000 Georgians volunteered more than 145,000 hours,
collecting more than 4.5 million pounds of trash from their
communities!

you can join in.
Adopt-A-Highway
Georgia's Adopt-A-Highway program enlists citizen volunteer help
to remove litter from state roadsides. While saving taxpayer
dollars, the program provides recognition for participating
companies and organizations, brings the environmental and
monetary costs of littering into public awareness, and promotes
civic responsibility and pride. The volunteers of the
Adopt-A-Highway program serve as visible reminders to the public
that we are all stewards of the land.
Learn more about how to get involved with Adopt-A-Highway.
Rivers Alive
Rivers Alive is Georgia's annual
volunteer waterway cleanup event. Last year nearly 25,000
volunteers pulled more than 684,000 pounds of litter and garbage
from Georgia waterways - including tires, grocery carts, balls,
cigarette butts and furniture. This October, with your
help, we can do even more.
Find a cleanup site in your
area and volunteer for Rivers Alive.
Clean Community Challenge
The Clean Community Challenge gives local governments an
opportunity to receive recognition for their efforts to control,
abate and prevent litter. Local governments that create
programs that go "above and beyond" will be rewarded with
resources to support those efforts.

your community involved.
