The Team BCPS Clean Green 15: Litter Challenge is back and available for the current 2023-2024 school year.  Grants will again be awarded in June 2024 for cleanups that take place during school year 2023-2024.  All clean-up entries may be submitted for this year’s challenge HERE.

BCPS, the Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability, and the foundation appreciate participants’ hard work and dedication to keep the environment clean and safe.  Also appreciated is the support of the many BCPS educators, offices, and advocacy groups for their leadership to our students in supporting this challenge.

Extending gratitude to each of you for your dedication and service to our students in Baltimore County.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Since the 2013-2014 school year, Baltimore County Public Schools has partnered with Baltimore County Executive and the Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability (EPS) to host Team BCPS Clean Green: 15 Litter Challenge.

Through this program, BCPS schools and their community supporters conduct quick 15-minute litter clean-ups and compete to see which school communities can log the most clean-ups. Community groups include school-based groups, places of worship, youth groups, civic or community groups, scout troops, sports teams, businesses or other organizations, and environmental organizations and others that wish to help clean up their community. Groups are asked to report their clean-ups here HERE.

The Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools awards grants to the top winning schools to fund school-based instructional projects emphasizing the theme of environmental literacy. Review and award of projects conducted by the schools are based on the school communities participating, the number of 15-minute litter clean-ups, the number of participating volunteers, and the amount of litter collected.
