March 27, 2023
Keep Greenwood County Beautiful (KGCB) partnered with Keep Laurens County Beautiful (KLCB) to host their 15th annual Lake Greenwood Cleanup on Saturday, March 18th.
The event was a resounding success, with 158 volunteers coming together to clean up various sites in both Laurens and Greenwood Counties.
During the cleanup, volunteers removed an impressive 9,115 pounds of litter and debris from the lake and the roadways surrounding it. This weight included many tires removed from the lake shore.
“We are incredibly thankful for the dedicated volunteers who showed up on a cold Saturday morning to participate in the Lake Greenwood Cleanup” says KLCB Affiliate Coordinator Courtney Stonell.
KLCB would like to extend a special thank you to the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office for their support in helping make this cleanup a success ever year. Additionally, we would like to express our gratitude to theLaurens County Probation, Parole and Pardon Services for their partnership in our efforts to keep Laurens County beautiful.
