VOLUNTEERS TO JOIN FORCES IN COMMUNITY CLEANUP EFFORT

DMWT Trash-Off encourages Texans to help clear roadside litter

ATLANTA ­– Community members from Northeast Texas will be teaming up for the Don’t mess with Texas Trash-Off to beautify their community and roads next Saturday, April 1. The Trash-Off is the state’s largest one-day litter cleanup event, with multiple local events throughout Texas. 

The Trash-Off is part of TxDOT’s litter prevention program. “This is our family reunion of pickups,” said TxDOT Atlanta District Adopt-A-Highway Coordinator Stephanie Fahrney. “This is the date we ask everybody to come together as one to keep Texas beautiful, and our community shows out and makes us proud.”   

Every year families, social clubs, Adopt-A-Highway groups, neighborhoods, and Keep Texas Beautiful affiliates all over the state join forces to pick up litter and beautify their local communities. 

To sign up for supplies for your event and more information, visit ktb.org/dmwtto.
