Great American Cleanup volunteers make a BIG impact.
The Great American Cleanup is a chance to transform neighborhoods into cleaner, healthier, more connected places to live, work, and play. Together we can make a visible difference across Hampton Roads—and we invite you to be part of it.
Each year, thousands of volunteers from military commands, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and neighborhoods team up to remove litter, restore public spaces, and strengthen local communities. Since 2012, volunteers have removed more than 327 tons of litter from Hampton Roads. Join us in keeping our region beautiful and thriving!
