Don't Mess with Texas Trash-Off
The Don't Mess with Texas Trash-Off is the single largest one day cleanup event in the state and serves as Texas’ signature event for the Great American Cleanup, the nation's largest community improvement program, held annually from March 1 through May 31.
This year, the Trash-Off was held Saturday, April 10. Volunteers were asked to take pictures of their unusual trash finds and e-mail their photos to Don’t Mess with Texas, where they’ll be displayed in a photo gallery on www.dontmesswithtexas.org. To enter, volunteers simply e-mail the photo, location where it was taken, and photo caption to trashoff@dontmesswithtexas.org.
The photo collection will be visual documentation of an embarrassing problem: Texas roadside litter.
Don’t Mess with Texas Trash-Off volunteers can send in interesting photos of their group collecting trash, the most common type of trash they pick up, or the weirdest litter they come across on April 10 — the largest one-day statewide cleanup in the United States.
Anyone who submits a photo by April 24 has the chance to receive a Don’t Mess with Texas prize pack —three prize packs will be awarded via a random selection process.
In 2009, more than 25,200 bags of trash were collected, totaling more than 158 tons of waste.
The Don't Mess with Texas Trash-Off is part of the partnership between Keep Texas Beautiful and the Texas Department of Transportation. Participants can receive trash bags, volunteer giveaways, promotional items, and more.
