KAB's 23RD ANNUAL CITYWIDE CLEANUP WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! 

3,943 PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO VOLUNTEER AT 115 SITES AROUND AUSTIN!

APPROX.  30 TONS OF TRASH WAS REMOVED FROM AUSTIN'S PUBLIC SPACES.

2008 CLEANUP RESULTS

• 3,943 volunteers registered to participate in more than 115 cleanup locations throughout Austin.
• Volunteers worked roughly 14,630 hours to remove tons of trash from littering Austin.
• We estimate the value for just the volunteer time to be $266,266.00.
• 30.5 TONS of trash was collected during Clean Sweep (that's 60,946 lbs).

In addition to the dollar savings, the valuable lessons about the meaning of community service, the virtue of personal responsibility and the importance of litter prevention are immeasurable!

• Kid’s environmental activities and exhibits
