Keep Cincinnati Beautiful joined the Greatest American Cleanup because it's a great celebration, and [cleaning up] 25 billion pieces of trash is going to make a big difference. We've been working with individual Cincinnatians to make sure that Cincinnati is the cleanest city in the Midwest and hopefully at some point, the cleanest city in the country.

– Jonathan Adee, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful

Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful joined the Great American Cleanup to strengthen community pride and show that consistent, hands-on action leads to real, visible change. It’s more than just a cleanup, it’s a movement to improve our community. – Darlissha Tillman-Sadler, Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful Keep Liberty Beautiful joined the Greatest American Cleanup to unite our community in creating a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful place to live. It's a powerful way to inspire pride, action, and environmental responsibility across all ages and neighborhoods. – Dr. Karen Bell, Keep Liberty Beautiful At Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful, we're all about the celebration of our community members' successes for the Tennessee River watershed, and the Greatest American Cleanup campaign allows us to join in on that kind of celebration at a national scale.

We joined the Greatest American Cleanup because litter isn't just unsightly—it harms our environment, our economy, and our sense of community. This campaign empowers people to take action and reminds us that every cleanup and every tree and flower planted is a step toward a more beautiful Aiken County. – Kandace Cave, Keep Aiken County Beautiful We joined the Greatest American Cleanup to have a local impact on the fight against litter, and to enable the local towns and communities in Orangeburg County to get involved by taking the KAB pledge. We know it takes us all working together for a cleaner, more beautiful Orangeburg County.

-Lisa Rigden (Keep Orangeburg County Beautiful)
