Clean Gloucester Day is part of the Great American Cleanup, a two-day effort to remove litter and improve community appearance across all 17 cities and counties in Hampton Roads. Community beautification projects include:

• Removing litter from roadsides, neighborhoods, beaches, waterways, and parks for cleaner communities

• Planting trees, flowers and community gardens to strengthen green infrastructure

• Restoring nature trails, parks and playgrounds to encourage outdoor activity

• Recycling old or unwanted items junking up your home or yard

• Restoring business districts and thoroughfares to encourage economic development

Everyone has a role to play in keeping Hampton Roads beautiful. From individuals to families, school groups to civic organizations, small businesses to large corporations. YOU can make a difference for your community.
