Great American Clean Up

The BIGGEST clean-up campaign of the year. All of Chesapeake's organizations are invited to register to get involved in cleaning up litter some time during the month of April.

Our short-term goal is to clean-up Chesapeake. In 2011 6,320 volunteers cleaned up 44,591 pounds of debris. Our long-term goal is to influence people's attitudes about littering.
