About the Great American Cleanup
Each spring from March to May, extraordinary acts of civic
pride and renewal take place all across the United States. Under the
leadership of Keep America Beautiful, Inc., the Great American
Cleanup™ mobilizes annually more than two million volunteers to
make their neighborhoods more beautiful, safer and healthier places
to live.
In fact, the 2001 Great American Cleanup™ saw volunteers in
more than 12,000 communities in 42 states, plus Washington, DC,
Puerto Rico, Winnipeg, Canada, and St. John, US Virgin Islands.
Volunteers ages 10 to 74+ represented a large variety of organized
groups, including colleges/universities, scouts, sports teams and
military personnel, as well as corporations, local businesses, civic
leagues, youth groups and families. These volunteers cared enough
about their communities to scour, brush, and plant their way through
the nation's largest organized litter prevention, beautification and
community improvement program.
About Trash Bash 2010
Every April for the past 24 years, individuals and groups have
joined Keep Brevard Beautiful in our community to help clean up
unsightly litter. They help remove debris from neighborhoods, parks,
roadsides, shorelines and wherever litter is found. By providing
an example of positive behavior, volunteers help change attitudes
about litter. As a result of the action taken by volunteers during
Trash Bash, our community looks clean and beautiful and there is
a sense of community pride. Sponsored by Florida Inland Navigation
District and Waste Management of Florida, Inc., Trash Bash is an
event supported by the Brevard County Commissioners and all municipalities
in the county. A spirit of friendly competition prevails to recruit
volunteers and reduce the most litter on April 17, 2010. The best
reward is NO UGLY LITTER
We would like to thank all the students who sent in their art
work for the T-Shirt Design Contest. The contest winner this
year is: Melissa Chambers, a student at Rockledge High School.
Congratulations, Melissa! Her artwork is displayed below.
