Durham Big Sweep 

On the first Saturday in October, volunteers from all 100 counties in North Carolina and approximately 90 countries worldwide come together to clean up our land, waterways and oceans in a worldwide event. In NC and here in Durham County, volunteers will take part by participating in NC Big Sweep clean-up. 

 

Durham Big Sweep will be on Saturday, October 6, 2012. However, volunteers interested in participating in Durham County can pick their own clean-up date anytime throughout the months of September and October and still be part of Big Sweep. 

 

Durham County has been participating in NC Big Sweep for more than a decade now. In just the last two years, over 953 volunteers have helped to clean an estimated 24,005 lbs of trash out of our community. 

 

Volunteering is simple. You can volunteer as a clean-up team with a group of your family/friends/co-workers, or volunteer as an individual and be assigned a team. Teams can pick their own clean up location; local parks, neighborhoods, stream banks, lake shore, parking lots, school grounds, workplace grounds, etc. or we can help your group find a location. Anywhere you see trash will make a great Big Sweep clean-up site.

 

Registration and more information about the 2012 Big Sweep event is online at Bit.ly/DurhamBigSweep
