Harnett County is one of the fastest growing counties in North Carolina with approximately 140,000 residents. Harnett's tagline of "Strong Roots, New Growth," describes a county in transition, one that values its rural agricultural heritage while also embracing new growth and industry. Harnett County is optimally located just between North Carolina's capital city of Raleigh and the internationally

recognized Research Triangle Park to the north, and the nation's largest military installation in Fort Bragg to the south. The county is also centrally located in North Carolina and is within close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway, and to the numerous Atlantic Ocean beaches and the Outer Banks. Harnett County also possesses abundant natural resources including nearly 6,000 acres of park land and 26 miles of hiking and walking trails. Harnett is home to Raven Rock State Park and some of the best white water rapids in the region along the Cape Fear River.

🧤 TRASH TALKIN’ TUESDAY: You bring the muscle, we bring the bags! 🧤

We talk a lot about the problem of litter in Harnett County, but today let’s talk about the easiest solution: YOU.

You don't need a massive crew or a full weekend to make a difference. A simple 1-hour litter sweep with your family, friends, your church group, or your work crew can completely transform a local roadside or park.

To make it as easy as possible, we supply the essentials:
✅ Heavy-duty trash bags

✅ High-visibility safety vests

✅ Gloves and litter grabbers

✅ Removal and disposal of ALL bags and items collected

Gather your crew, pick your favorite local stretch of road or park, and let’s get to work protecting Harnett’s natural beauty.

📩 Reach out by email at [email protected] or call/text 910-514-2054 to claim your cleanup supplies for this weekend!
