Katy, TX- Keep Katy Beautiful is seeking volunteers for their 22nd community-wide clean up event known as the “Texas Trash Off” on Saturday, April 9, 2016. Volunteers may register individually or as teams. Scouts, youth/civic and professional groups are not only invited, but encouraged to join in on this immediate impact event. New this year are designated “Family Friendly” clean up locations specified for those wishing to get the kiddos involved in making a difference through this litter abatement outreach effort.
The Don’t Mess with Texas Trash-Off is spearheaded by TxDOT and Keep Texas Beautiful and serves as Texas’ signature event for the Great American Clean Up which is organized by Keep America Beautiful. This one day event allows community members to join thousands of other Texans in their hometowns to make a big difference just by picking up harmful litter and debris along roadsides, in local parks and other places in the city. “This is one of those events where community members get to know their neighbors a little bit better, and those neighbors become friends in action helping to Keep Katy Beautiful” says KKB’s Executive Director, Amy Reed.
Participants will not only receive supplies for their part of the clean-up, but are also invited to attend the After Trash Bash for a celebration of community, food, prizes and fun. Participants will want to make sure to enter their Most Unique Item found into KKB’s contest for a great prize to walk away with!
