Volunteers Needed for Keep Pasco Beautiful Cleanup
Annual, countywide event prevents debris from entering waters
Volunteers Needed for Keep Pasco Beautiful Cleanup
Join us, and help us make Pasco County a cleaner place! Keep Pasco Beautiful is gearing up for our annual Keep Pasco Beautiful Cleanup – and we’re looking for volunteers!
Our goal is to pick up litter on roadways and public spaces all around Pasco. An estimated 80 percent of trash in our waters comes from land, so these cleanup events prevent pollution from entering our stormwater system – which often leads to waterways and the Gulf of Mexico.
Event Details:
WHEN: Saturday, September 17, 2022
TIME: 8 a.m. to noon
WHERE: Various Pasco County Locations
To volunteer, click HERE and register through September 9. Disposable gloves, trash bags and Keep Pasco Beautiful Cleanup T-shirts will be supplied while supplies last.
“We’re excited to have the support of so many community organizations,” said Keep Pasco Beautiful Coordinator Kristen King. “Thanks to Rotary District 6950, in partnership with West Pasco Rotary Clubs of New Port Richey, Holiday, Hudson, Seven Springs, Trinity and West Pasco Sunset for providing grant funding for this year’s event.”
This event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup coordinated by Ocean Conservancy. The worldwide event has collected more than 348 million pounds of trash with help from around 17 million volunteers – since 1986! For more information about Keep Pasco Beautiful, visit: keeppascobeautiful.org.
