Host a Pick-Up Iowa Event
Be part of a movement in Iowa, showing up for our state through cleaning up our streets, rivers, and public spaces!
Keep Iowa Beautiful is calling on Iowans to help achieve our statewide goal of 2,500 volunteers to clean up 2,500 bags of litter across the state this spring.
What is Pick-Up Iowa? An annual effort to pick up litter across the state of Iowa through a series of locally organized pick-up events, Pick-Up Iowa is part of Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup, the nation’s largest community improvement program.
Who can participate? Anyone! You can host a Pick-Up Iowa event...Just grab your friends, neighbors, coworkers, classmates, etc. and pick an area to pick up litter!
Where do I hold my event? Anywhere! Common sites to pick up litter include Iowa’s roadsides, neighborhoods, streets, school grounds, parks, or streams.
When do I hold my event? Anytime! Schedule your Pick-Up Iowa event between April 1st and June 30th, 2026, at a date and time that works for your group!
