The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has launched its fourth annual initiative titled ‘No Trash November’ as part of the ongoing ‘Nobody Trashes Tennessee’ campaign. This month-long effort invites residents across the state to engage in community cleanup activities aimed at reducing litter. Last year, the campaign saw an impressive turnout, with over 2,200 volunteers participating in more than 150 events. Together, these dedicated individuals collected an astounding 86,000 pounds of trash from Tennessee’s roadways.
This year, the campaign introduces the Trash Masters Rewards program, designed to further incentivize participation in ‘No Trash November’. Participants can earn points through various activities, including a litter quiz, cleanup events, and initiatives aimed at raising awareness about littering. November presents a unique opportunity for those involved, as they can accumulate double points for all activities completed during the month.
These points can be redeemed for exclusive merchandise and discounts at local businesses, among other rewards. This initiative not only encourages residents to contribute to a cleaner Tennessee but also recognizes their commitment to environmental stewardship in a fun and engaging way.
