Litter Sweep
Green Saves Green has organized litter cleanups since 2019. Here’s why.
Litter Sweeps are easy, fun, and a great way for families and students to get involved in helping their community.
Let’s Pick It Up!
GREEN SAVES GREEN 2023 Fall Litter Sweep
9-11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 14
Calling all Litter Sweepers! Green Saves Green is gearing up for our 2023 Fall Litter Sweep, and we need your help. We’re planning to clean up 1.5 miles of Halstead Blvd. Extended from Southern Bank to Aldi’s. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Southern Bank parking lot, 1875 W. City Dr., Elizabeth City. All cleanup supplies will be provided. No need to sign up. Just show up. Please join us!
Can’t make it? Consider doing a litter cleanup on your own.
If you are a proud owner of a Green Saves Green Litter Sweep kit, choose the day and time for your cleanup. Go by yourself or invite others. Clean up your neighborhood, public park, bike path, or a roadside. Be sure to follow the DOT safety guidelines. Please send photos of your cleanup to info@greensavesgreen.org and we'll share. Also, let us know how many bags you collected so we can add it to the Trees for Trash program.
