Litter Sweep
Green Saves Green has organized litter cleanups since 2019. Here’s why.
Litter Sweeps are easy, fun, and a great way for families and students to get involved in helping their community.
Let’s Pick It Up!
GREEN SAVES GREEN 2024 Fall Litter Sweep
9-11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 26
Calling all Litter Sweepers! Green Saves Green is gearing up for our 2024 Fall Litter Sweep, and we need your help. This year, we’ll clean up about 1 mile of Northside Road. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Dixieland Speedway Pit Entrance parking lot, 1520 Northside Road, Elizabeth City. No need to sign up. Just show up. Everyone welcome. Please join us!
Can’t make it? Consider doing a litter cleanup on your own.
If you are a proud owner of a Green Saves Green Litter Sweep kit, choose the day and time for your cleanup. Go by yourself or invite others. Clean up your neighborhood, public park, bike path, or a roadside. Be sure to follow the DOT safety guidelines. Please send photos of your cleanup to info@greensavesgreen.org and we'll share. Also, let us know how many bags you collected so we can add it to the Trees for Trash program.
