About the Litter Sweep

The Chamber is looking to unite the community by getting citizens involved in tackling the issue of litter in Burke County through its 3rd Annual Litter Sweep. This event will take place between March 20-27 of 2024. Everyone is invited to participate!

This Litter Sweep is a great opportunity for families, boy and girl clubs, church groups and more to help improve the cleanliness of the community! It is amazing what we can accomplish when we work together!

Get Involved!

The Burke County Chamber of Commerce Litter Sweep will encourage participants to spend more time outside and make a positive impact on the community. The Chamber is excited to be able to provide cash prizes to teams who collect the most litter! If you are interested in participating, please contact the Chamber to sign up and set a time to pick up vests and other supplies.

Each participant will be given an information sheet that contains details about safety guidelines, litter drop-off sites, competition rules, and more. Between March 20th and 27th, teams will go out and pick up litter throughout Burke County. Afterwards, all teams will deliver their bags to one of the designated drop-off sites. All teams will need to return their team sheet and supplies to the Chamber to qualify for the competition prizes.

Protecting Our Community

The presence of litter throughout a community can impact quality of life, safety, and has environmental consequences. Litter can be moved into water sources and onto roads by varying means. Weather conditions, animals, traffic, and many other factors contribute to litter being dispersed throughout the community as well.

The Burke County Chamber of Commerce cares about this community! This Litter Sweep is an example of how we are striving to serve Burke County. Please consider supporting this weeklong event by signing up for the Chamber Litter Sweep this year! For more information on this event, email Jenna at jcole@burkecounty.org or call (828) 437-3021.
