Kingsport sets pace in Great American Cleanup

Kingsport sets the pace for Tennessee in Great American Cleanup

Kingsport is often called the "volunteer city in the volunteer state".

  • 4,994,685 lbs of litter collected across Tennessee
  • 1,672,435 lbs collected by Kingsport volunteers (1/4 of the state total)
