The 2026 Spring Litter Sweep is taking place April 11-25.
Traditionally scheduled for the last two weeks of April and September, Litter Sweep is the N.C. Department of Transportation’s biannual statewide roadside litter removal initiative. Residents throughout the state participate in local efforts to help clean up North Carolina’s roadways.
In addition to volunteers, NCDOT maintenance crews devote one week of their time to pick up litter and collect orange bags placed on the roadsides by volunteer pickups.
Volunteers are provided cleanup supplies, such as reversible orange/blue trash bags, gloves and orange safety vests, from their local NCDOT County Maintenance Yard office.

Reason for proposed adoption: These rules are proposed for adoption in order to achieve two key objectives. First, to monitor for the presence of 1,4-dioxane in discharges from targeted industrial NPDES dischargers and their associated indirect dischargers (i.e., SIUs going to POTWs with pretreatment programs) known to be associated with 1,4-dioxane industry types. Second, to require affected entities (subset of industrial direct dischargers and SIUs) to develop minimization plans that identifies approaches to reduce 1,4-dioxane discharges directly or indirectly to surface water.
