The third annual Trash Bash will take place on Sunday, May 18 in Telluride, starting at noon in Elks Park, located on Oak Street, just off Colorado Avenue. Community members of all ages are invited to participate, either individually or in teams, by picking up litter from public spaces around town.
All participants will be entered into a raffle after their collected trash is bagged and weighed. Food and drinks will be provided for all participants.
Residents are also encouraged to pick up litter at any time throughout the spring as snow melts and trash becomes visible.
“We’re proud to come together again as a community to care for our neighborhoods, outdoor spaces, trails, and rivers,” said EcoAction Partners Education and Outreach Coordinator Mollie Theis.
