Get involved

Show up for the place you love

Neighbors, coworkers and friends are showing up for the places they love. A cleaner block. A greener park. A neighborhood people are proud to call home. Here’s how to join them.

Find a cleanup near you

Many ways to engage

Every cleaner block starts with someone who decides to help. Here are four ways to take part, from a few hours to a whole season.

Once

Join one cleanup this year

Local Keep America Beautiful groups hold cleanups all year. Spend a few hours outside with your neighbors and leave the place better than you found it.

Find one near you

A volunteer in a neon-yellow Keep America Beautiful safety vest, the three-trees mark across her back, raises both arms toward a pickup bed loaded with bagged litter, a discarded tyre and scrap pulled from a rural roadside.

Weekly

Pick up what you walk past

Take a bag on your next walk, run or stroll: around your block, a local park, a nearby beach. Go whenever it suits you.

Start the habit

A volunteer in a red Keep America Beautiful t-shirt and sunglasses kneels to press a white-flowering plant into a landscaped bed outside a pale blue clapboard house.

Once a season

Plant something that keeps growing

Join your neighbors planting native trees, and watch the place you share get greener every year.

Plant something

Eight Keep Oklahoma Beautiful volunteers stand beside a tall pile of filled black trash bags on a gravel path at a wooded lakeside.

Bring your coworkers or classmates

Many companies and schools already team up with Keep America Beautiful. Ask whether yours does, or start a cleanup of your own.

About fifteen high-school students in gray Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful t-shirts stand and kneel together on a sunlit school lawn behind two full black trash bags.

Bring people with you

Bring your whole community along

Teachers can bring the work into the classroom, with step-by-step toolkits that help students lead their own projects.

Community groups, nonprofits and local governments can lead it where they are — as a Keep America Beautiful affiliate, or with a community grant behind the project.
