The Great Charleston Cleanup is taking place this year from March 18th through June 18th. This event is the City of Charleston's local version of the Great American Cleanup, hosted annually by Keep America Beautiful. Each year, Keep Charleston Beautiful encourages individuals and community groups to get outside and help beautify our public spaces, for the betterment of our communities. Beautification activities could include picking up litter, planting vegetable, rain, or pollinator gardens, trimming back weeds and vegetative overgrowth, clearing blocked storm drains, planting trees, or even removing illegal graffiti and decals from public spaces.
Check out the ways you can participate in The Great Charleston Cleanup! Whether an individual or a group, there are lots of ways to get involved.
