Each year, Arkansans across the state come together to spruce up their communities by volunteering in the Keep American Beautiful Great American Cleanup in Arkansas. Last year, volunteers collected 1.4 million pounds of litter and 4.7 million pounds of bulky waste from 1,208 miles of roadway and 219 miles of waterway. This year’s spring cleanup campaign, coordinated and promoted by the Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission (KAB), begins March 1 and continues through May 31.

All Arkansans are encouraged to take part in the annual community cleanup initiative. Those interested in organizing a cleanup event or volunteering with a local event can visit the website.
