Community Clean-Up
The Greater Patapsco Community Association (GPCA) Clean-Up Committee organizes regular events, from large annual spring cleanups to smaller, targeted cleanups of litter hotspots, removing trash and recycling to beautify the area. Each year during our annual clean-up, community volunteers police the roads in our area, remove trash and tires, and help local residents dispose of their discarded 'treasures'.
