The Great American Clean-Up (County-wide)

Save to Favorites

The Great American Cleanup is a nationwide cleanup initiative led by Keep America Beautiful. This cleanup event has taken place across the country for the past 28 years. Last year, thousands of volunteers throughout Polk County joined in the cleanup effort. This cleanup event is held throughout the months of March, April and May. The first 2,500 volunteers, who pre-register will receive a free T-Shirt and ticket to Bok Tower Gardens (while supplies last). Cleanup volunteers are provided with garbage bags, gloves and safety vests. Additional beautification supplies are available by request.

This opportunity exists in each of Polk’s 16 municipalities: Auburndale, Bartow, Davenport, Dundee, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Frostproof, Haines City, Highland Park, Hillcrest Heights, Lake Alfred, Lake Hamilton, Lakeland, Lake Wales, Mulberry, Polk City, and Winter Haven. This is a great opportunity for students to earn community service hours! Volunteers are encouraged to choose a location in their local community to help clean and beautify. Lakes, roadways, rivers and parks are great locations for volunteers to participate in the Great American Cleanup. Volunteers may also join in one of our community coordinated cleanups or recycling events.
