Keep Collier Beautiful (KCB) invites the Collier County community to register for the Bay Days – Great American Cleanup on Saturday, March 22, 2025. The event will run from 8:00 am to 11:00 am at select beaches, canals, and waterways in Collier County.
The Great American Cleanup is an annual event that was initiated by Keep America Beautiful more than 20 years ago and has become the nation’s largest community improvement program. As an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, KCB carries on the spirit of this event to Collier County with the support of area partners.
This event brings together the local government, businesses, and civic groups to protect Collier County’s environment by cleaning up litter and debris from local waterways. Many K-12 teachers take the opportunity to bring their classes out for volunteer hours and hands-on learning about ecology. This is also an excellent opportunity for friends and families to create fun memories together while making meaningful contributions to help the environment.
This cleanup event is essential for protecting the environment and educating people on proper waste disposal and environmental awareness. This event also prompts individuals to care for their environment and be responsible citizens by conducting grassroots community service projects that engage volunteers, local businesses, educational institutions, and civic leaders in their local area.
Interested site captains are encouraged to email keepcollierbeautiful2021@gmail.com to confirm your participation. The final list of locations will be posted at www.keepcollierbeautiful.com.
The 2025 Bay Days – Great American Cleanup is sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Collier County Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Division, Florida Surfing’s Evolution & Preservation Foundation, City of Naples, Waste Management (WM), Waste Pro, Walmart, Cascade, Wastequip, EK Consulting, Collier Community Foundation, Keep America Beautiful, Keep Florida Beautiful, and C2 Communications.
