We are pleased to announce that our Great Augusta Clean Up Program will be available from March 20th through July 5th, 2020. The Great Augusta Clean Up is part of Keep America Beautiful’s nationwide initiative, Great America Clean Up, where an estimated 15,000 communities and more than 550,000 volunteers improved and beautified their community environments through litter cleanup, greening, education and recycling. This year, Keep America Beautiful is collaborating with the Earth Day Network to celebrate their 50^th anniversary.

We invite our Augusta community to participate by visiting our website www.keepaugustabeatiful.com and applying at least 14 days before their planned neighborhood cleanup date. We will provide free dumpster services and supplies on a first come, first serve basis. Spots are limited as long as supplies last.

Last year, 227 volunteers participated in this program cleaning and beautifying different areas of our community. However, we still have a lot of work to do. According to our most recent litter index study, Augusta scores an average of 3 out of 4. This means that we are a highly littered community. “We look forward to supporting our neighborhood cleanup initiatives and hosting education events on environmental conservation and proper recycling. Follow us on our social media platforms and subscribe to our newsletter/calendar on our website for a complete list of upcoming events,” says Edkesha Anderson, Keep Augusta Beautiful Program Manager.
