Lead The Change : Join The Greatest American Cleanup!
I pledge to lead my community in the Greatest American Cleanup, working together to create a cleaner, greener future. We’ll pick up litter, recycle, plant native species, and inspire everyone to join us in beautifying our neighborhoods. Together, we’ll make a lasting impact and celebrate a more beautiful community by America’s 250th Birthday on July 4, 2026.
