HOW TO GET INVOLVED

• GET A GROUP TOGETHER and register to be part of the Great American Cleanup.

• SET A DATE during the month of March or April to clean up a stretch of road, a riverbank, slough, or park

• KALB WILL PROVIDE trash bags, gloves, and safety vests.

• CHOOSE TO SORT out the recyclables from your trash as you pick it up if you wish.

• USE THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP as a way to instill a sense of community pride and responsibility in our children.  Bring them along!  Once a person gets close and personal with roadside litter, they are less apt to litter themselves.
