What is the Great American Cleanup in Troup County?

Keep Troup Beautiful is getting ready for spring with the 2006 Great American Cleanup set for Saturday, April 22nd. The largest annual community improvement program encourages volunteers to pick activities to beautify Troup County. Groups can participate by picking up litter, planting gardens or painting unsightly buildings or other projects.

Each participant who registers by March 31st receives a free meal deal coupon donated by Burger King and a free T-shirt donated by Wal-mart, Interface, Coca-cola, LaGrange Grocery Co., Matthew G. Orr Insurance Agency, Inc., Hunter-Allen-Myhand Funeral Home and Sleepy Holler Gifts. Volunteers can participate before or on April 22nd. Registered participants are invited to the Chamber of Commerce Plaza in LaGrange or Calvin Hipp Veterans Memorial Park on Main Street in Hogansville between 11:30am and 12noon for refreshments, entertainment and door prizes. Cash prizes will be awarded in both locations for the most litter collected by groups 5 and more ($50), groups with 4 and under ($25) and the most unusual item found ($25).

Volunteers can pick-up registration pledge forms at local businesses in West Point, Hogansville and LaGrange by March 31st, or register on-line. Pick your own area or call KTB for an assignment. Concerned citizens can call (706) 884-9922 to report littered grounds around their business, school, church or neighborhood, and groups will be assigned to that area. Free gloves and trash bags are available upon request.

The 2006 Great American Cleanup national sponsors are Pepsi, Wrigley, Honda, Glad ForceFlex, Waste Management, Scotts Miracle-Gro Co., Georgia Pacific Sparkle, Firestone, Sam’s Club and Troy-Bilt.
