ATLANTA, Texas– Community members from across northeast Texas will be teaming up Saturday for the "Don't mess with Texas Trash-Off."
The Trash-Off is the state's largest one-day litter cleanup event, with multiple local events happening throughout Texas, according to a news release from the Texas Department of Transportation .
"This is the date we ask everybody to come together," said TxDOT Atlanta District Adopt-A-Highway Coordinator Stephanie Fahrney. "It takes all of us to keep Texas beautiful. Our community really shows out and makes us proud."
Every year, families, social clubs, Adopt-A-Highway groups, neighborhoods and Keep Texas Beautiful affiliates all over the state join forces to pick up litter and beautify their local communities. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and pay attention to volunteers that are out picking up trash during the event.
