Join Keep Knoxville Beautiful at the South Knoxville Community Cleanup (SKCC) 2026. On Saturday, April 18th from 9am to 12pm, dozens of volunteers will be picking up litter throughout South Knoxville.
At the SKCC 2025, 310 volunteers picked up over 7,800 lbs of litter in just 3 hours! This event is a great way to participate in a larger effort to keep Knoxville clean, green, and beautiful!
Meet at Chapman Square at 4409 Chapman Hwy. We will be removing litter from South Knoxville roads, creeks, and parks. Participants of any age are welcome! We look forward to seeing those who live, work, or play in South Knoxville – as well as anyone who wants to lend a helping hand. There are four options for cleanup:
- Sign up as a group with 5+ people to be assigned or to request an area for South Knox cleanup
-
Litter Cleanup at Chapman Square
-
Creek Cleanup at Goose Creek at Mary Vestal Park
-
Invasive Removal with Ijams at Community Unity Park in Montgomery Village
Be sure to sign up before Sunday, April 12th at 11:59 PM.
Join us for the ribbon cutting and opening of the new Gateway Park at Baker Creek! This extension of the existing Gateway Park and greenway is located at the end of James White Parkway, under the Sevierville Pike Bridge. It includes a play area, covered space, bathrooms, and more.
