Keep Fort Worth Beautiful (KFWB) hosted the Cowtown Great American Cleanup on Saturday, March 29, marking the 40th year of this annual spring event. The initiative aims to remove litter from various city locations.

This year's event saw participation from over 3,700 volunteers who managed to collect and remove upwards of 84,800 pounds of litter. The cleanup covered seven pre-selected hub locations, multiple parks, public streets, trails and banks along the Trinity River, and numerous neighborhoods across the city.

After the cleanup, volunteers were invited to Rockwood Park for the Earth Party celebration. The event recognized the efforts of the volunteers not just for the Cowtown Cleanup but throughout the year. The celebration featured food, drinks, live music, entertainment, exhibitor promotions, and the annual Trashion Fashion Show.

Residents have several opportunities to participate in litter cleanups throughout the year. The next City-led event is the Meadowbrook Special Event Litter Cleanup, scheduled for Saturday, June 14. Additionally, KFWB will host the fall Neighborhood Litter Stomp on Saturday, October 11.

Volunteers are also encouraged to organize their own litter cleanups at any time of the year. KFWB supports such initiatives by providing free litter supplies, including trash bags and gloves, upon request.

The Cowtown Great American Cleanup remains the largest annual litter cleanup and beautification event organized by KFWB. The event's success is credited to the unified efforts of residents and volunteers. "Thank you to all volunteers; join us again in 2026," the organizers encourage.
