The Great American Cleanup is the nation's largest community improvement program. It is a time when we can show our community pride by lending a hand to clean up littered roadsides, parks, trails and riverways.
Huntington's Great American Cleanup will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 20. Click here to sign up!
A clean city makes a difference: It looks better to residents and visitors, and improves the overall quality of life. Litter, graffiti, unkempt parks and trails, and scattered debris create unsightly areas that would give visitors the wrong impression. Through the work of volunteers, we can come together and show how much we care about Huntington's neighborhoods and public spaces.
The City provides groups with garbage bags, gloves, and T-shirts. After the work is done, a volunteer celebration with food and drinks will be held from 11:30 am. to 1:30 p.m.
Getting involved is easy. Groups as well as individuals are encouraged to participate. All you need to do is select an area in the community that you would like to beautify and sign up. The city can also provide you with a location to clean if you do not have one. Volunteers can begin their cleanup anytime during the day. Most groups elect to begin at 8 a.m. and clean for several hours. Groups that cannot do their cleanup on Saturday can select a different day as long as it is within the same week.
