Pasco County has been part of the Great American Cleanup since 1992. In 2019, 675 volunteers picked up 18 tons of trash at 29 locations throughout Pasco.

"The event is a great opportunity for high school students to earn community service hours," said King. "Participants can join one of the existing teams located throughout the county, or create their own group to focus on a specific area."
