TDOT hosts litter cleanup in the fourth annual No Trash November

Tennessee Department of Transportation’s (TDOT) Nobody Trashes Tennessee is hosting their No Trash November campaign, a month-long statewide initiative encouraging Tennesseans to participate in cleanup events in their communities. Last year’s campaign included more than 150 events with over 2,200 volunteers who collected more than 86,000 pounds of litter from the state’s roadways.
Spearheaded by TDOT’s Nobody Trashes Tennessee campaign, the initiative brings together Keep Tennessee Beautiful affiliates, TDOT Grantees, Adopt-A-Highway groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and individuals that are working together to end littering.
“We are grateful for our many partners across the state that are once again coming together in November to help us in our mission to prevent and reduce litter,” said Morris. “By working together to improve and beautify communities across the state, we can make an even larger impact as we strive to prevent and reduce roadside litter in Tennessee.”
New this year, and to encourage individuals to get involved in No Trash November, is the Trash Masters Rewards program. Participants earn points for various activities like taking a litter quiz, attending cleanup events, and spreading awareness. Participants can earn double the points for all activities throughout the month of November, making it the perfect time to join. Points can be redeemed for a variety of rewards, including discounts at local businesses and exclusive NTT swag. It’s a fun and engaging way for individuals to contribute to a litter-free Tennessee while being recognized for their commitment to the environment.
