Keep Pasco Beautiful has been participating in the Great American Cleanup since 1992.  The Great American Cleanup in Pasco County is always the first Saturday in March. The next one is planned for March 1, 2025.  Start and end times will vary slightly based on location.  

 

This is a national event to promote shared community responsibility by picking up litter.  In 2024, 1002 people volunteered for 3,449.5 hours and picked up 19.57  tons of trash.  The Independent Sector values a volunteer hour at $29.95, which would put the volunteer cost-benefit for this cleanup at $109,694.10.  There were 52 locations throughout Pasco County including Holiday, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Hudson, Land o' Lakes, Dade City and Wesley Chapel.  Keep Pasco Beautiful coordinated trash disposal and supplied trash bags, gloves, and t-shirts.

​

Cleanups are not just about picking up trash, they are also litter prevention.  Litter attracts litter so a clean space helps to prevent it.  Registration will be open at the beginning of 2025. Thank you all for doing your part to #KeepPascoWatersBeautiful .
