The Annual Pick Up Putnam County Wide Clean-up (formerly known as Putnam Proud) is an opportunity for all of us throughout Putnam County to take pride in our community and tackle an issue that affects us all: litter.
​
Throughout the month of September, we encourage groups throughout our county to come together for the benefit of our communities and conduct a litter clean-up in our areas. Clean-ups can occur on any day and time that is most convenient for your group, and all supplies necessary to conduct a safe clean-up will be provided by us here at Keep Putnam County Beautiful - Clean Commission (including: trash bags, litter grabbers, safety vests, gloves and buckets). Groups typically select an area to pick-up litter that corresponds the area they typically meet or operate (such as the roadway/area near their church or business). In the event that a group does not have an area to pick-up litter, we will work with them to identify and area of need.
​
We encourage groups associated with churches, businesses, civic and community groups, sports or schools to commit to participating in this event to help make a difference in our county while ensuring our communities, public spaces, roadways and natural areas are free from litter.

Thank you for everything you do to Keep Putnam County Beautiful!
