An estimated 50 million people will participate in World Cleanup Day across the globe, according to the day's website.
Keep Framingham Beautiful (previously called Clean Up Framingham ) was founded in spring 2020 after the city's annual Earth Day celebration was called off due to the pandemic. In 2021, the group hosted its own citywide cleanup event, netting 336 bags of trash.
