2026 Greatest American Cleanup & Downtown Cleanup

This year Keep America Beautiful is promoting the Greatest American Cleanup program to make your community cleaner, greener, and more beautiful for America's 250th celebration. The goal is to remove 25 billion pieces of litter from parks, waterways. and public spaces by July 4, 2026. It's ambitious but achievable, and we can't do it alone. 

Keep Clark County Beautiful had over 900 volunteers in 2025 that participated in litter cleanups, removing 270 bags of litter as part of last year's Great American Cleanup. Join us to make 2026 an even better year to Keep Clark County Beautiful and clean!

We are seeking volunteers to clean up litter and spruce up Clark County from March 20 through June 20, 2026. We provide the volunteers with gloves, trash bags, and disposal of trash, as well as a small token for each participant.

For more information, call 937-521-2020
