Shredding Day

Pick It Up Powder Springs

Pick it Up happens twice a year in the Fall and the Spring.

Our next scheduled Pick It Up event is Saturday, April 23, 2022.

As the country continues to deal with the pandemic, it is as important as ever to help end litter across our great nation. This means that we should all make sure that waste (including PPE) gets placed in the trash and we all recycle based on local capabilities.

Regarding litter collection, Great American Cleanup event organizers have been provided clear guidance to ensure that volunteer health is our first priority. All cleanups should adhere to guidelines from federal, state, and local public health officials so timely and accurate information can guide safe and appropriate activities in each location.

For more information, contact Keep Powder Springs Beautiful.
