The Keep it Clean COS award was established in 2022 to recognize individuals and groups who go above and beyond in their volunteer efforts to keep the community clean. The inaugural winner under Mayor John Suthers was COSILoveYou.

The City will be partnering with the Fountain Creek Watershed District's Great American Cleanup and COSILoveYou's City Serve Day on May 2-3 for a big community cleanup opportunity. Residents are encouraged to register and learn more at ColoradoSprings.gov/KeepItClean.

In addition to participating in community clean-up efforts, residents can also support Keep it Clean COS by properly disposing of trash and maintaining a litter-free environment in their neighborhoods. By working together, we can all contribute to keeping Colorado Springs beautiful and welcoming for everyone.
