Community Cleanup & Litter Sweep

Join Us for a Community Cleanup & Litter Sweep

Roll up your sleeves and help keep our community beautiful! We’ll gather at 10:00 AM at the Libba Cotten Bike Path, meeting at Carrboro’s Lower Municipal Lot (7) (entrance off Boyd Street, behind 300 E. Main). From there, volunteers will be assigned to nearby cleanup locations to make a big impact together.

Whether you’re a longtime resident, a student, or just love spending time outdoors, this is a great way to give back, meet neighbors, and make a visible difference in our community.
