Don't Mess With Texas Trash Off

WHEN: April 2, 2011 at 7:30 a.m.

WHERE: Pearland Community Center - 3523 Liberty Dr., Pearland, TX 77581

Join Keep Pearland Beautiful, Scout Troops, school groups, church groups, civic, families, organizations, and businesses from all over Pearland for the annual Don't Mess With Texas Trash-Off on Saturday, April 2, 2011.

We will meet at the Pearland Community Center, 3523 Liberty Dr., starting at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and assignments. Keep Pearland Beautiful will supply bags and gloves for the cleanup and will send a crew out to pick up the bags of trash. There will be prizes for all volunteers and four cash prizes will be awarded. There will be a random drawing from wrap-up reports submitted on time, a prize for the group submitting the most original clean-up photo of their group, a prize to the group collecting the most cigarette butts that day (must be verified with a photo) and a prize to the group picking up the most unusual piece of litter.

The Trash-Off is a part of a state-wide cleanup sponsored by Keep Texas Beautiful and the Texas Department of Transportation. It is also the signature event in Pearland for Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup, which runs from March through May and is considered the largest grassroots cleanup and community improvement event in the world. If you want to make a difference in our community, join us for the trash-off.
