Keep Norfolk Beautiful Calls for Volunteers for the 2012 Great American Cleanup™

Keep Norfolk Beautiful (KNB) invites volunteers to improve the quality of life in Norfolk and show pride in their neighborhood as they clean up litter-strewn streets and waterways, and fix up and beautify public spaces during Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup^™, the nation’s largest annual community improvement program, March thru June 2. Events include:

• Community Cleanups - held March through May, 2012*
• Group Leader Orientation - March 6, Lamberts Point Recreation Center
• Global Youth Services Day - April 21, 9:00 a.m., City of Norfolk Waste Management

• Clean the Bay Day – June 2, 9am-Noon, Citywide

Last year in Norfolk alone nearly 6,000 volunteers collected over than 174,000lbs. of litter and debris from our city’s waterways, shorelines, green spaces and roadsides!

Adding to the eye-pleasing look of a cleaner and greener city, studies show that communities, neighborhoods and residents feel safer after volunteers united to clean and beautify the local environment. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities in this spring’s events.
