The Keep America Beautiful® Great American Cleanup is the nation’s largest community improvement program taking place annually in thousands of communities nationwide.
The Great American Cleanup annually engages more than 300,000 volunteers and participants, whose work returns, on average, more than $20 million in measurable benefits across thousands of participating communities.
According to the Keep America Beautiful 2020 National Litter Study, there are 50 billion pieces of litter across the country. If every American picked up 152 pieces, we would clean it all up! Do your part by joining the #152PickUpChallenge. Make sure to take pictures of your cleanup and tag us on social @KeepAmericaBeautiful and use the #152PickUpChallenge. You can also register here and receive email updates from us! Don’t forget to share your progress and let us know how you did. Together, we can clean up 50 billion pieces of litter!
