To participate, organize a clean up event with family, friends and neighbors at a local park or in your neighborhood within the City of Thornton. If you don t know where to clean up, the City can assign a location. The Great American Clean Up 2001 is sponsored by the Agency for A Clean Thornton in recognition of Keep America Beautiful month, which is now entering its 16th year. Last year nationwide, nearly two million volunteers picked up millions of pounds of litter, collected recyclables, eliminated illegal dump sites, renewed parks, planted community gardens, cleaned up lakes, rivers, seashores and roadsides from coast to coast. With community support, we can clean up and refurbish our City so that it is a more beautiful place to live and work.
Volunteers can make a big difference in a very short time.
