Trinity Trash Bash 2007

It’s time to banish some trash! North Texas cities and entities are gearing up for the 16th annual Trinity Trash Bash events, which will be held throughout the month of September and into October. Individuals, group leaders, educators, and community service organizations are all encouraged to take part in these events, which not only clean and beautify the banks of the Trinity River, but educate the public about the importance of the Trinity River as a primary source of drinking water in the Metroplex.

The Trinity Trash Bash is coordinated by Trinity River Environmental Education, Inc. (TREES, Inc.), a nonprofit organization. Last year’s Trash Bash resulted in more than 2,500 volunteers picking up 36 tons of trash.

Listed below are the cities involved in Trash Bash 2007 and the dates on which their events will be held. For more information, including contact information, specific event locations, and how to get involved with a Trash Bash event near you, visit www.trinitytrashbash.com.
