Join the Great American Cleanup of South Carolina

March 1 – May 31, 2010 marks the duration of the GASC. Last year, 19,000 South Carolinians removed more than 2.8 million pounds of trash and recyclables. Join us this year and let’s see what we can do together!

During the Great American Cleanup, the makers of OB Tampons will reward a group of 18 - 24 year olds who makes the most difference in their community, as well as rewarding their local KAB affiliate, with $5,800. To download the flyer click here. For more information visit www.mightysmall.com.

Lake Greenwood Cleanup

PalmettoPride and Keep Greenwood County Beautiful will be hosting the 2nd annual Lake Greenwood Cleanup on March 13, 2010. Last year 100 volunteers showed up to help clean up Lake Greenwood, we're hoping for more volunteers this year. The cleanup will meet at 8am in Recreation area 2 at Lake Greenwood State Park and will wrap up at noon with an appreciation lunch for volunteers.
