Get ready for the upcoming GAC 2021 season.
ARPIL 10TH – MAY 16TH with COVID-safe and friendly cleanups for all!
2021 Great American Cleanup Campaign Kicks off April 10th!
Join the thousands of volunteers cleaning up throughout Rockland from April 10th – May 16th. You can clean up any time, anywhere.
There are several community cleanup events happening in our villages and hamlets this year. We are creatively adapting these events to meet the needs of the moment, whether volunteers are gathering on the ground or driving thru to pick up and drop off their supplies.
We are providing for the health and safety of all volunteers with COVID-related protocols and procedures in accordance with county and state guidelines.
New this Year!
Check out our Peer to Peer fundraising platform where you can learn more about the campaign and community events. Have fun customizing your own page and sharing it with friends, family, and colleagues.
Please remember to always dispose of your gloves, masks, and wipes responsibly.
Leave No Trace – Pick Up a Piece or Two
Out for a walk or hike with family or friends? Take a small bag with you, pick up a piece of trash or two, then take it back home with you. Let’s all pitch in and Leave No Trace.
When out and about, be sure to practice social distancing and wear a mask. Let’s all bend the curve (and make COVID a thing of the past). We’re in this together.
