Volunteers Pick up Litter in 2013 Great American Cleanup

The 2013 Great American Cleanup Cache In Trash Out event was a great success due to the dedicated volunteers who came out to pick up litter and debris. The event, on April 20 at Fowler Field in Douglasville, drew local residents and Geo Cachers on the sunny day to give their time cleaning up the community.

Keep Douglasville Beautiful (KDB) co-hosted the event with the City of Douglasville and the geocache community. The event's main goal was to pick up litter, tires and other debris while teaching residents about the importance of litter prevention.

Cache In Trash Out is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since 2002, geocachers around the world have been dedicated to improving parks and other cache-friendly places. Through these volunteer efforts, the natural beauty of our outdoor resources is preserved.

As a thank you for participating, volunteers all received a Great American Cleanup T-shirt, bottled water from GAC sponsor, Nestle, and geocaching related door prizes.
