WHO: Keep Gastonia Beautiful

WHAT: The City of Gastonia invites the public to participate in the Great American Cleanup Kick-off event to help get its communities litter-free.

WHEN: March 19 through June 20, 2022

WHY: Keep Gastonia Beautiful staff is encouraging the public to organize groups in their neighborhoods to clean up trash alongside streets and highways.
