Volunteers Help Keep Our City Clean

Through its cleanup and beautification activities, Clean It Up, Green It Up and Keep Jacksonville Beautiful  in FY 2021 accounted for 6,190 volunteers who donated 14,080 hours of their time to collect 8,035 bags, or approximately 160,700 pounds of litter and trash. Those efforts saved taxpayers $401,843 in hourly volunteer value (based on a hourly volunteer value of $28.54 set by the nonprofit organization Independent Sector) and $194,447 in Cost Avoidance. That's a whopping $596,290 savings to Jacksonville residents!
