The Great Madison County Litter Sweep Contest

Help us keep our beautiful county clean!

Sign up your group of four or more people at one of the pick-up centers listed below and you could win cash for picking up trash. The contest will run from April 13-27, 2019, in conjunction with the state wide litter sweep. The prizes are $1,000 for the most bags of recyclables and $500 for the most bags of non-recyclable trash. Trash bags, safety vest, gloves and Trash Pick-up in Progress signs will be supplied.

Beginning on April 7, 2019 group leaders can visit one of the four pick-up centers to sign up for the contest and pick up NCDOT orange/blue trash bags, safety vest, gloves and Trash Pick-up in Progress signs. Supplies are limited, so each group can have 2 Trash-Pickup in Progress Signs, 1 pair of gloves per group member (up to 6 pairs per group), 1 safety vest per group member (up to 6 vests per group), and 10 trash bags per group member (up to 60 per group).

If you don’t sign up you can’t compete! All group members must be Madison County residents or a student at MHU and at least 12 years of age.
