KFCB launches Greatest American Cleanup March 1 through May 31

Keep Forsyth County Beautiful (KFCB), the county’s volunteer litter-reduction arm, launched Phase 1 of the Greatest American Cleanup on March 1, with a local campaign running through May 31 and coordinated from the KFCB Office at 426 Canton Highway in Cumming. Volunteers are asked to schedule supply pickup by appointment at that Canton Highway address before they clean assigned roads.

KFCB positions the local drive as part of the national Keep America Beautiful initiative and repeats the national goal on its event page: “Help clean up our roads as part of the Keep America Beautiful initiative to pick up 25 billion pieces of litter across America by her 250th birthday next year!” The county calendar entry for the event lists times as Mar 01, 2025, 9:00 AM – May 31, 2025, 11:00 AM, while other KFCB materials describe the effort as a March 1 Phase 1 launch; residents should contact KFCB to confirm the campaign year and any updated calendar listings.

KFCB’s public instructions spell out the volunteer workflow. The organization’s “About The Event” copy directs: “1. SCHEDULE A PICK UP: Pick up your supplies at the KFCB Office. Schedule here”; “3. CLEAN UP:Clean your road or area anytime that is convenient for you from March 1 to May 31.” After cleaning, volunteers are instructed to “4. FILL OUT: Fill out a Status Report.” For collection, KFCB’s page states: “5.DROP OFF: Leave your bags tied grouped on the side of the road and text us a pic and the location.”

Contact and location details on the KFCB page list the physical pickup site and office as “Physical address (by appointment only): 426 Canton Highway Cumming, GA 30040” and the mailing address as 110 E Main Street, Cumming, GA 30040. The public phone number is listed as 770-205-4573 and the public email as kfcb@forsythco.com. KFCB’s event calendar labels the location as “KFCB Office, 426 Canton Hwy, Cumming, GA 30040, USA.”

Several operational details are not specified on KFCB’s public pages. The organization’s published material does not list hours for supply pickup at 426 Canton Highway, the specific supplies included in pickup bags, the scheduling link or the submission link for the Status Report, or the phone number volunteers should use when the instructions say to “text us a pic and the location.” KFCB’s page also notes: “\PLEASE NOTE: All volunteers must provide their own transportation to their assigned roads.” The city or county collection timetable for roadside bags left “tied grouped on the side of the road” is not described.

KFCB invites citizens, community organizations, families, businesses, and clubs to participate in the campaign. For signup, scheduling and clarification on pickup hours, volunteer supplies, the Status Report form and the correct text number for drop-off photos, call 770-205-4573 or email kfcb@forsythco.com; the office mailing address is 110 E Main Street, Cumming, GA 30040. The cleanup runs from March 1 through May 31 and is organized through the KFCB Office at 426 Canton Highway.
