This is a fun competition where we breakup into teams of 10 to see which team can gather the most litter around town. The Don’t mess with Texas Trash-Off is the single largest one-day cleanup event in the state and serves as Texas’s signature event for the Great American Cleanup, the nation’s largest community improvement program. Engaging more than 4 million volunteers and community members, like you, annually has led to a positive and lasting impact for environments across the nation. Your participation sends a clear message to Texas.
Winning team is awarded 2022 Keep Weatherford Beautiful Trash-Off trophies. All volunteers will be given a free Keep Weatherford Beautiful tote bag and free lunch. We will have a Trash-Off scavenger hunt & "The Weirdest Find" competition. All gear such as visibility vests, disposable gloves and trash bags will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
