Keep America Beautiful®, the nation’s leading community improvement nonprofit organization, announces the results of the 24th annual Great American Cleanup®. Over 150,000 volunteers and participants took part in over 6,000 events during the three months of GAC.
Whether it’s a major cleanup with thousands of participants or a small group effort of a dozen or less, all participants make a major difference by participating in National CleanUp Day. Held annually on the third Saturday every September, National CleanUp Day addresses the issue of excess waste and litter across America.
Beginning September 7th, the bottles will be available via an online auction with all sale proceeds benefiting Keep America Beautiful, the largest community improvement organization in the US.
Every day, we are tracking articles, stories, and mentions about the efforts of the thousands of staff members and volunteers who make Keep America Beautiful the nation’s leading community improvement organization.
Last year, Dollywood partnered with the river cleanup nonprofit, Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful (KTNRB), on a massive cigarette litter prevention project, making Dollywood the first theme park in the world to recycle the plastic from every cigarette butt collected in guest-facing receptacles on its property.
