KCRB seeks volunteers for 2018 Great American Cleanup

Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful (KCRB) is accepting registration for the Great American Cleanup (GAC) , which will be held on Saturday, April 28, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., at Pine Log Park Pavilion, 1500 Highway 138, Conyers. The deadline to register is Friday, April 20.

The half-day event, which KCRB hosts in partnership with the City of Conyers and Rockdale County, encourages citizens to pick up garbage, tires and other debris around the community, and teaches youth about the importance of litter prevention and recycling. This year, the GAC event will also involve the efforts of Rockdale County officials, department directors and staff. In addition to removing debris from several locations, Rockdale County Department of Transportation (RDOT) will be cutting grass at the gateways to the county off Interstate 20.

KCRB invites civic and neighborhood groups, businesses, Boy and Girl Scout troops, churches, youth groups, individuals, and families to participate in GAC. Volunteers are asked to send one representative from their group to the park’s pavilion to check in and pick up supplies for their entire group beginning at 9 a.m. on the day of the cleanup.

Volunteers will be provided cleaning supplies – garbage bags, gloves and brightly-colored safety vests – while available, for free. They will also receive free food and a T-shirt for participating, also while supplies last.

Registration may be made at www.rockdalecountyga.gov. Registration forms also can be emailed to kcrb@rockdalecountyga.gov or dropped off at the County’s Administration and Services Building, 958 Milstead Ave., Conyers, 30012.
