Knox County
PRIDE Spring Cleanup, April 5-19

Tired of litter along the road or in a stream or park near your home? Make plans now to clean those spots during the PRIDE Spring Cleanup, which will be held April 5-19. Recruit your friends and neighbors to help. Call your local PRIDE Coordinator to reserve cleanup supplies for your project. While supplies last, volunteers will receive free T-shirts.

School Cleanup Activities
PRIDE encourages schools to organize cleanup events for their students. Due to spring break or testing schedules, these events may be held outside the Spring Cleanup period. These events are not open to the public, but they are listed here to recognize the schools' PRIDE.
