Press release from the City of Peoria:

April 7, 2020

The 2020 Great American Cleanup has tentatively been rescheduled for Saturday, June 27, 2020 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This event provides an opportunity to continue to build a sense of community pride and stewardship in our neighborhoods by eliminating blight, litter, and debris.

While it is important to maintain clean and healthy neighborhoods all year round, this nationwide cleanup effort is an opportunity to show appreciation for your neighborhood and gives all of us more reasons to appreciate Peoria. The Community Development Department supplies dumpsters and volunteers to enhance neighborhood cleanup efforts during the Great American Cleanup and partners with neighborhood associations to make a lasting impact in the fight against blight.

The Community Development Department, in partnership with Keep Peoria Beautiful, is pleased to offer dumpsters to twenty neighborhood associations for the Great American Cleanup. To request a dumpster for your neighborhood cleanup, please contact Project Coordinator Jared Vinson at (309) 494-8630 or jvinson@peoriagov.org.
