We, along with Friends of Clean City, are proud to initiate the 6th Annual Tampa Clean City Day during "The Great American Clean Up" (March - May). Tampa Clean City Day is scheduled for March 24, 2012. This will be the kick-off for the "Keep Tampa Clean Campaign". If you would like to help clean up on the Hillsborough River, register at the River Quest site. Volunteers will be assigned to help clean up their Tampa Neighborhoods within our 5 Districts (New Tampa, North Tampa, East Tampa, West Tampa and South Tampa).

The Tampa Clean City Day "Clean Up Initiative" Main Objectives are:

• Promote the City of Tampa Anti-Litter Campaign (Treasure Tampa – A Clean City is Worth Preserving)
• Beautification Projects
• Address litter, recycling, trash and debris citywide
• Partnership/Sponsorship Opportunities
• Citywide Trash Receptacle Program
• Implement the Adopt-A-Street Program
• Through volunteers (private/public sector) move the City of Tampa up into the Top 10 Cleanest Treasured Cities within the United States

To make this event a success, we are seeking 25 Volunteer Site Captains from different parts of the City. The responsibilities of the Site Captains include:

• Identifying a site within your neighborhood/area of interest that needs attention
• Attending a one hour orientation and training session prior to the day of the event
• Recruiting volunteers to remove litter and debris
• Recycling and special landscape projects
• Distributing supplies provided by the Clean City Division on the day of the event
• Reporting site results at the end of the clean up
   

"Cleaning Up Tampa From The Ground Up" will take a collective effort on everyone's behalf, as the City of Tampa is comprised of 333,040 city residents within a 116.1 square mile radius.

We invite you to be part of the City of Tampa "Clean City Initiative" to make the City of Tampa a cleaner place to live, work, play and visit.

We hope to see you there! "I am Tampa”, Doing my part!"
