Join us for the Great American Cleanup during Earth Day month April, 2025.  Scroll down for available volunteer opportunities.

 Make plans now to join thousands of volunteers of all ages across America who will be taking part in efforts to clean up and improve their local communities. 


​​
 In celebration of Earth Day month, local activities of the Great American Cleanup include a massive removal of litter and illegal dumping from our public spaces - neighborhoods, roadways, waterways, parks, schools, etc. Additional community improvement activities may include tree plantings, recycling activities, painting over of graffiti or run-down buildings, etc. Demonstrate your individual responsibility by taking part in this annual effort to make Palm Beach County neighborhoods and public spaces a safe, more enjoyable place to live, work and play!

The Great American Cleanup, a project of Keep America Beautiful, is coordinated in Palm Beach County by Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful Inc. and the Solid Waste Authority
