The N.C. Department of Transportation is calling on volunteers to help clean up roadsides during the 2025 Fall Litter Sweep, scheduled for Sept. 13-27.
The statewide cleanup, held each spring and fall, brings together neighbors, civic groups and businesses to remove litter from North Carolina roadsides.
NCDOT maintenance crews will also dedicate one week to collecting litter and trash bags filled by volunteers. Gloves, safety vests and bags are available at local NCDOT county maintenance offices.
This year’s Fall Litter Sweep also serves as a lead-up to the Great American Cleanup, the nation’s largest ever community improvement initiative. Volunteers will join Keep North Carolina Beautiful and local Keep America Beautiful affiliates in cleanup efforts across the state in October.
