It’s that time of year again! Keep Pinellas Beautiful is excited to announce the 2025 Great American Cleanup (GAC) taking place from March 1st – June 30th. This Keep America Beautiful signature event engages thousands of volunteers, removing litter and beautifying locations throughout Pinellas County.

Come help us kick off the GAC on Friday, February 28th at John's Pass Park in Madeira Beach by joining your community leaders and elected officials as we stand together to combat the issue of litter in Pinellas County. The presentation will be followed by a cleanup of Madeira Beach and demonstration of the Bebot, a unique beach cleaning device. Check out the video below, then sign up and come see the BeBot in action! Together we will SPEAK UP, PICK UP, and STAND UP for a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful Pinellas County.
