Sweep Details

On the Saturday of the event, Committee Members will be set up at the locations announced. Volunteer sign-up and supply pick up will begin at 9:00 am.  Volunteers can pick a pre-determined location, by the Committee, or choose their own location. Volunteers are encouraged to wear closed toe shoes, bring a bottle of water, and remember your sunscreen and bug spray. We ask that you leave the bags of trash you collected on the roadside, and we will arrange to pick them up.

Volunteers can also pick up supplies ahead of time by calling Pam Hawkins at 252-633-0397 or email at  phawkins@cravencountync.gov.

A huge shout-out to all these amazing volunteers over the last couple of years for making a difference in Craven County!!
