Join the Great American Cleanup™
Coordinated through the Kaeep America Beautiful National Office, Great American Cleanup events are executed by a network of participating organizations across the country. The Great American Cleanup is a platform for community improvement programs every year from March 1 through May 31.
All the activities underscore our philosophy of citizens taking individual responsibility for their community environments. Everyone is welcome to lend a hand in any one or more of the diverse activities offered to make their communities cleaner, healthier and safer.
The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,877 groups with 6,907,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own communities. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills.
