The Great American Cleanup is a great opportunity to show your community pride and show your employees, neighbors and fellow residents that you are willing to lend a hand.

Just around the corner is the City’s annual spring cleaning event: the Great American Cleanup. This is the nation’s largest community improvement program that Fort Wayne has participated in for over 20 years.  It is a time when we can show our community pride by lending a hand to clean up littered roadsides, parks, trails and river ways. 

Getting involved is easy and groups as well as individuals are encouraged to participate.  All you need to do is select an area in the community that you would like to beautify and sign up by April 15th.  The City will provide, T-shirts, gloves and garbage bags.  The official day of the cleanup is Saturday, May 18th.  Volunteers can arrange to clean on that day or another day that same week.  For more information please call 427-1345.
