Commonwealth Cleanup Week

March 21st -27th, 2010

SHELBYVILLE, KY. Commonwealth Cleanup Week is an annual week-long event implemented by the Energy and Environment Cabinet which kicks off the Great American Cleanup. The focus of this event is to clean up littered roadsides and illegal dumps throughout each community.

Individuals and civic groups are encouraged to participate in this event in an effort to improve the beauty and environmental health of our county and our state. This event is a great opportunity to complete a community service project for scouts, school and civic clubs, churches and neighborhood associations.

Civic, religious, and any nonprofit organizations can enter to win six separate $100 cash prizes through the state for participation. Groups must register and complete a clean up project to be entered in the prize drawing. The random drawing will be in May.

For more information, entry forms and litter bags contact Clean Community Coordinator Kathy Ranard (see information below). All forms must be submitted to the Clean Community Office by April 23, 2010 to be entered in the state contest.
