Great American Cleanup

Keep America Beautiful

March 3 marked the national launch of the 2009 Keep America Beautiful (KAB) Great American Cleanup. Focusing on the message that “Green Starts Here,” KAB will be hosting events around the country until the end of the program on May 31.

“We’re reminding our friends and our neighbors that ‘Green Starts Here,’ but the impact we create as individuals goes beyond our own community,” said Matthew McKenna, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful.

KAB is expecting over three million volunteers in 30,000 community improvement activities and educational workshops to get involved in this year’s Great American Cleanup. These volunteers will rid streets, waterways and public spaces of litter and illegal dump sites, hold recycling drives and educational events, paint out graffiti and much more.
