Keep Arkansas Beautiful Launches 2024 Great Arkansas Cleanup
On Saturday, September 07, 2024, Keep Arkansas Beautiful is set to kick off the 2024 Great Arkansas Cleanup, a massive community improvement campaign that runs through October 31.
The event aims to bring together thousands of Arkansans to remove tons of trash from state roadways, shorelines, parks, and public areas in an effort to enhance the beauty and livability of these spaces. This effort aligns with the organization’s ambitious goal of keeping the entire state “clean, green, and beautiful.”
Keep Arkansas Beautiful has taken significant strides in recent years. In 2023, for instance, volunteers managed to clean and beautify every single county in Arkansas, demonstrating remarkable dedication to the cause. The total economic value returned to communities in Arkansas during that year reached an impressive ,798,926.
The organization provides extensive resources to facilitation cleanups. These include materials such as customizable news releases, flyers, and guides on organizing community cleanups. Participants can also register for these events online, ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated process.
Particular emphasis is placed on safety during these cleanup events. Supplies, including t-shirts, are distributed on a weekly basis leading up to the events. Furthermore, guidelines are provided for handling waste disposal and safety precatins during the cleanup.
Through the Great Arkansas Cleanup, the state comes together to make a significant positive impact on its environment and local communities. This collaborative effort truly embodies the spirit of community service and environmental stewardship.
