Big Sweep Scheduled for September 19
GREENSBORO, NC -- (August 5, 2009) – Greensboro Beautiful’s annual Big Sweep Waterway Pickup will be held Saturday, September 19, from 9 am until 12 noon. This event is part of the 2009 North Carolina Big Sweep, the North Carolina component of the International Coastal Cleanup, an event in which volunteers from all 100 counties in the state and 90 countries world-wide come together to clean up our watersheds. Join Greensboro Beautiful, a Keep America Beautiful affiliate, and the City of Greensboro to help clean up our waterways, streets, neighborhoods and community.
- Finding a stream, park, roadside, parking lot or an area in your neighborhood, near your school, office, or church that needs cleaning up.
- Enlisting the help of your neighbors to clean your neighborhood. The City will provide assistance with equipment and other services to neighborhoods within the city limits. For large cleanup efforts, the City will provide trash trucks for bulk trash, yard waste and scrap tires.
