Each year, the city of Jackson and Keep Jackson Beautiful — the local, certified affiliate of Keep America Beautiful — partner to promote efforts to eliminate littering, encourage recycling, protect the future of our urban forests and beautify public spaces. The partners work with neighborhood associations, schools, churches, youth groups, civic groups and anyone who wants to organize a cleanup project.
Between March 1 – May 31, the Great American Cleanup is the nation’s largest organized anti-litter and recycling campaign. This event involves several thousand volunteers in the Jackson area each year.
