LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Registration is now open for the Greatest American Cleanup in Arkansas, a statewide effort inviting communities, organizations and individuals to help clean and beautify The Natural State from March through May.
Led by Keep Arkansas Beautiful, the Greatest American Cleanup in Arkansas is part of a national initiative focused on litter prevention, waste reduction and community pride. This year's cleanup season also aligns with the celebration of America's 250th birthday, offering Arkansans a meaningful way to honor the nation's history by caring for the places that shape its future.
As communities across Arkansas prepare for America 250 commemorations, the Greatest American Cleanup encourages residents to take action close to home, improving public spaces, parks, roadways and waterways that reflect local heritage and shared responsibility.
"Caring for our communities is a timeless American tradition," said McKenzie McMath McCoronel. "As we look ahead to America's 250th birthday, this cleanup is a chance for Arkansans to celebrate by leaving our state cleaner, healthier and stronger for the next 250 years."
Cleanup events may be held anytime between March and May. Registration is free and open to schools, civic groups, businesses, nonprofits and individuals. Participants can register cleanup events, track volunteer impact, and access resources to support local efforts. Supplies and support materials may be available while quantities last.
