City of St. Pete hosts huge cleanups and restoration projects on Earth Day

The City of St. Pete has a plethora of events set for Earth Week here in the Sunshine City. These free community events offer residents the chance to actively participate in the protection and beautification of the spots they love most here in the ‘Burg. On Saturday, April 22, the city and volunteers will gather at Tangerine Plaza for an Earth Day cleanup. The outpouring of support has been so great that they’ve completely sold out of registration space.

This cleanup is in partnership with Keep Pinellas Beautiful, and you can reserve your spot at the event on its official page. Keep Pinellas Beautiful is hosting the 2023 Great American Cleanup (GAC), the nation’s largest community improvement program, in partnership with Keep America Beautiful, Pinellas County, and Seagram’s Escapes through June 30th.
