CLEARWATER, Fla. – The third annual Big Cleanup Clearwater is right around the corner in October, and registration is now open for volunteers to choose a cleanup site to lend a hand in helping to collect litter throughout the city during the weeklong event.
From Oct. 9-14, the goal is to collect as much litter from Clearwater’s beaches, parks, streets, beaches and trails. Businesses, neighborhood groups, organizations and community members can volunteer their time throughout the week at numerous sites in the city.
Anyone can volunteer, and community groups are welcome. Site captains will be stationed at cleanup sites, and they will host the signing in of volunteers, distribute supplies, collect trash, and weigh the trash removed from each location.
