Our mission is to engage residents to improve the local environment, including waterways that feed into the Arkansas River, through litter prevention, beautification, recycling and education.

Cleanups

We organize the Great North Little Rock Cleanup in May and the Great Arkansas River Cleanup in the fall. We also have smaller cleanups during the year.

Join us for some good, clean fun!

Please join Keep North Little Rock Beautiful for the Sixth Annual Great Arkansas River Cleanup.

We’ll meet in Little Rock and North Little Rock at two locations:

This is a great opportunity to give back to your community, improve the local environment and help keep our river clean.

Does it cost anything to register a team?
No, registration is free!

Who can sign up?
We welcome groups and individuals, boaters, bass fishers, cyclists, hikers and all others who enjoy the river and its shores.

What do we need to bring to the cleanup?
Gloves, trash bags, trash grabbers, rakes, and safety vests are suggested. Keep North Little Rock Beautiful can provide many of these items for use on cleanup day. We will contact team leaders with information on getting supplies.

What if it rains on the day of the cleanup?
If the Great Arkansas River Cleanup celebration is cancelled due to weather, we will notify team captains.

I don’t have a team. Can I still volunteer?
Yes! If you would like to help clean on Sept. 10, you can still register.
