Big Sweep

About Big Sweep

Each fall, Greensboro Beautiful volunteers clean litter from our community's lakes, creeks and streams as part of the NC Big Sweep Waterway Litter Pickup. Thousands of volunteers from scout troops, community organizations, churches, schools, businesses, and families take part in the cleanup, showing our community's concern for cleaner waterways. In recent years, this cleanup has been sponsored locally by the Rotary Clubs of Greensboro.

Here's What You Do

• Look around for an area that needs litter cleanup.
• Register your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, club or church members to pick up litter from your selected cleanup site.
  
• We'll provide the cleanup supplies! You can pick up bags, gloves and data cards on Friday, September 16 from the Greensboro Beautiful office, 501 Yanceyville Street, between 1 pm and 5 pm.
• On cleanup day, pick up litter from your selected site starting at 9 am. Beginning at 11 am, bring all collected and bagged litter to the Memorial Stadium parking lot. Pizza and bottled water will be provided to all volunteers until 12 noon!

Check back in August for registration information.
