This weekend, Friday, Nov. 13 through Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, several hundred volunteers from churches, businesses, neighborhoods, university groups, and more will be removing litter from road throughout Lexington and Richland Counties and on streets in the City of Columbia. If you’re out driving and see signs indicating a litter pick-up is in progress or see volunteers in brightly colored safety vests, please slow down.

Keep the Midlands Beautiful manages the Adopt-A-Highway, Adopt-A-Street and Adopt-A- Waterway programs for all 19 of the municipalities in Lexington and Richland Counties.

Keep the Midlands Beautiful also provides free supplies, including safety vests, litter grabbers, cloth gloves, safety signs and trash
and recycling bags, to over 300 volunteer groups each year. To learn more, donate, sponsor events or programs or become a volunteer, visit kmbsc.org, email [email protected] or call
