ABOUT North Carolina Big Sweep:
NC Big Sweep, an award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was originally founded in 1987 as Beach Sweep, an initiative to remove unsightly and harmful litter from the state’s coastline. It expanded inland in 1989, and was renamed Big Sweep, becoming the nation’s first statewide waterways cleanup. Its mission expanded in 2002 from litter-free waters to a litter-free environment. Since Big Sweep was founded, almost 335,000 Big Sweep volunteers have retrieved over 11 million pounds of debris—the equivalent of more than 27,000 football fields, five feet deep in litter.
