PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Speak Up. Pick Up. Stand Up. 

That's the commitment volunteers pledge to when they remove all the trash left behind near our local beaches. 

This week, Keep Pinellas Beautiful kicked off the 2020 Great American Cleanup campaign – Leaders Against Litter

It is Keep America Beautiful's signature event – and the nation's largest community improvement program – that kicks off nationwide in March and extends through June.
