FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) It's billed as the country's largest beautification and community improvement effort and Fort Wayne residents are being urged to take part in this year's edition of the spring cleaning event.

The City is looking for volunteers and groups of all ages to help cleanup litter and debris from Fort Wayne's neighborhoods, parks, roadways, trails and riverbanks. In order to accommodate participants with an event tee-shirt, gloves, and trash bags, the City is asking residents to pre-register by calling 311 or by accessing the event website at www.cityoffortwayne.org/greatamericancleanup. 

In 2012, nearly 5,000 people took part in the Great American Cleanup in Fort Wayne.
