Clemmons Community Embraces Spring Cleanup with Enthusiasm
Under overcast skies, Clemmons residents united for a successful spring cleanup, collecting over 100 bags of trash and recyclables.
On May 2, 2026, the Village of Clemmons Stormwater Department hosted its annual Spring Cleanup event. The community came together to beautify local roads and waterways, bringing warmth and unity to the village despite the overcast skies.
A total of 138 volunteers participated in the event, collecting 101 bags of trash and recyclables across 17 miles of roadway. This effort not only helped to enhance the appearance of Clemmons but also played a crucial role in preventing litter from entering storm drains and local waterways.
Each volunteer received a 2026 Spring Cleanup T-shirt, designed by Fox Pecora, a fifth grader at Clemmons Elementary School. This local touch added to the sense of community pride.
“We love putting on this event each year because it brings the community together to take pride in keeping Clemmons clean and beautiful.”
The event was supported by various community groups, including the West Forsyth Key Club, VFW Post 9010, and the Clemmons Civic Club, alongside generous sponsors like Be Kind Coffee Co. and Krispy Kreme.
For those who missed the event but wish to contribute, the Clemmons Stormwater Department encourages organizing personal cleanup efforts. Community members can find more information on how to get involved by visiting the Village of Clemmons website.
