Borrow a set of litter grabbers for your school for a one time cleanup or to be shared with the school for the entire year. Schoolyard Tool Loan Request

Through the "Litter Gitter" program, students are able to learn about volunteerism and make a positive impact by taking ownership of their schoolyard and their communities.

You can find some of the best standards aligned lessons in our Green School Lesson Share.  They are sorted by grade and represent the many ways that teachers have found to connect litter cleanups across the curriculum. Students can also use our Litter Index tools to map and audit litter. This open-source tool from UGA's College of Engineering is a great way to generate data for classroom use.

You don’t have to miss out on this great service project if you don’t have "grab-its" available at your school – just call KACCB at 706-613-3501 x7872 and borrow a set.  This is a great way to get the kids outside and build school pride through service.
