Join us on Saturday, April 20th as we host the largest one-day cleanup of the year in Florence County as part of the Great American Cleanup! The Great American Cleanup (GAC) is a nationwide community improvement program that kicks off in more than 20,000 communities each spring. This national program engages 2 million volunteers who take action in their communities to create positive change and lasting impact. Thank you to our 2024 sponsor, Harrington Vision, for supporting this year’s GAC!
How To Participate:
- Make a list of people who will be part of your GAC team. It can be your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, club, anyone! The GAC is open to all ages, but an adult must be present with anyone under the age of 16.
- Pick a date to clean. We encourage you to try and clean on the Florence County GAC date of Saturday, April 20, 2024, but your team can clean anytime between and still be counted.
- Pick a location to clean. If you aren’t sure of where you want to clean, let us know and we can assign a location or give you some options.
- Designate a team captain (they get a free shirt!) and have them complete the forms below. Forms can either be completed online or downloaded and emailed to jessica@keepflorencebeautiful.org. Teams must register in order to receive cleanup supplies.
- KFB will provide teams with trash bags, vests, and gloves.
- Cleanup supplies can be picked up starting at 9:00AM on Saturday, April 20th at the City Center Farmers Market (200 Sanborn Street in Florence). If your team is cleaning on a different day, we will help you coordinate a time to pick-up your supplies.
- Once your team is done cleaning, trash bags should be secured and placed together in a designated location for pick-up. Team captains will need to complete a cleanup report and return their supplies and report to the GAC tent at the City Center Farmers Market by or before 1:00PM. And pick up their GAC goody bag!
- All GAC volunteers are invited to attend the GAC & Earth Day Takeover event at the City Center Farmers Market after their cleanup!

GAC volunteers and earth-enthusiasts are invited to visit the market between 9:00AM and 1:00PM for Earth Day-themed activities, shopping with market vendors, giveaways, vegan food, and information on creating eco-friendly habits. This event is open to the public and free to attend.
