North Carolina Big Sweep
|
|
Every year in October, Keep Durham Beautiful partners with the City of Durham Stormwater Services Division and the Durham County Soil and Water Conservation District to promote and support North Carolina Big Sweep.
NC Big Sweep is a nonprofit organization that conducts year-round edcuation to prevent litter and coordinates a state-wide cleanup of North Carolina's watersheds. Volunteers from all 100 counties in our state work together to rid our streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and beaches of litter.
Groups from around Durham plan and carry out cleanups each year, with the help of KDB and our partner organizations.
Starting sometime in August you will be able to register here for NC Big Sweep 2010 on the first Saturday in October - this year it will be on October 2nd. But if that doesn't work with your schedule, don't worry, any cleanup in October is part of Big Sweep!
Keep Durham Beautiful, and all our partners, encourage good environemental stewardship of our watersheds all year round, so let us know if you know of a stream that needs cleaning or you want to volunteer to help!
