Registration is currently open for those interested in taking part in this year’s cleanup. Individuals and organizations wishing to participate can sign up via a registration link provided by the city. Participants are advised to prepare for a rewarding day of service, with the satisfaction of contributing to a cleaner, greener Savannah.
As part of Savannah’s commitment to environmental protection, the Great Savannah Community Cleanup serves as a reminder of the role that community members play in safeguarding their city’s natural resources. With increased participation each year, the city hopes to not only clean up litter but also galvanize efforts toward sustainability and responsible waste management.
In summary, the 2025 Great Savannah Community Cleanup is an open invitation for individuals and entities within the city to unite for a common cause: the preservation of Savannah’s stunning landscapes. By engaging in this cleanup, participants are not only helping to beautify their immediate surroundings but also nurturing a long-term commitment to environmental care.
