Join us next year, April 17-25, for our 14th annual Main Street Clean Sweep!

Thank you for making our 13th Annual Main Street Clean Sweep a HUGE success! During Earth Week 2026, 20 communities across Central Kentucky came together to remove litter from streets, parks, neighborhoods, and waterways—demonstrating the power of collective local action. This region-wide initiative was made possible by our presenting sponsors, the NiSource Charitable Foundation and Columbia Gas, and the numerous other organizations that supported our event!

Since its inception, Main Street Clean Sweep has grown into one of the region’s largest coordinated volunteer efforts. Over the past twelve years, more than 150 community cleanups have been organized, resulting in over 150,000 pounds of litter removed from the environment. What began as an Earth Day effort has evolved into a regional movement that strengthens community pride while protecting natural resources.
