Twentieth Annual TRASH-OFFMark your calendars!The 2008 TRASH-OFF will be Saturday, April 12!TRASH-OFF... Oklahoma’s Spring House CleaningAre you tired of seeing trash along your city streets? Do you cringe when you see someone throw litter out a car window onto the highway? Does litter really bug you? If so, this is the event for you! TRASH-OFF is the Department of Transportation’s, statewide cleanup day when Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) groups, city and community groups, counties, state parks, Corps of Engineers Lakes and other organizations and groups clean Oklahoma highways, roads and community areas. The event began as a coordinated pickup day for AAH groups, but has grown to include a wide variety of organizations. In addition to the 103 AAH groups who collected litter on TRASH-OFF Day, 206 communities, 31 counties, 16 state parks, and 2 Corps of Engineer lakes participated in the 2007 spring cleaning event. Many groups have expanded TRASH-OFF Day into TRASH-OFF week, or even TRASH-OFF month! Cities often participate by arranging free dump days or curbside pickups. Many groups combine cleanups with other fun events such as picnics, contests or trash parades to encourage participation. All events are coordinated statewide efforts to "KEEP OUR LAND GRAND"! TRASH-OFF is a growing success, so why not join in and help beautify your community!
