Save the Date! 2019 Trinity Trash Bash: Saturday, November 9th 8am-12pm

Trinity Trash Bash

 
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!
 
Volunteers are needed to help cleanup 30+ creeks, streams, canals, and shoreline. After the cleanup, we'll celebrate Texas Arbor Day by planting trees at Lake Park and volunteers will enjoy a free onsite educational expo. All supplies will be provided onsite to volunteer. Both onsite and offsite volunteer opportunities are available. 
 
The Trash Bash starts with registration @ 8:00, at Lake Park Catfish Picnic Area. We hand out supplies to volunteers and send them to various waterway areas in Lewisville (parks, creeks, Lake Park, Trinity River, Shoreline) to clean up trash. Volunteers then bring back their trash to home base for the chance to win some door prizes, get a free volunteer shirt, breakfast snacks, and more.
 
This event is open to all ages and is family friendly. Participants can register as individuals or part of a group. We can accommodate large groups, but please register in advance! Almost all areas are land based shoreline and creek bed pick up. If you have a kayak and want to clean on the water, please call the office to register.

Event History:

History: Hoping to raise awareness and appreciation of the Trinity River, Lewisville Lake, their respective shorelines, and 16 local creeks that feed into these waterways, Keep Lewisville Beautiful (KLB) partners with Keep Texas Beautiful, Keep America Beautiful, and the City of Lewisville to host an annual Trinity Trash Bash Celebration to clean our waterways.

Both the Trinity River and Lewisville Lake play an enormous role in supplying water to many Texans. The Trinity River is 715 miles long—its collection basin covers 17 counties, 17,965 square miles and is the primary water source for over 6 million Texans in the upper basin and 5 million Texans in the gulf coast region. That’s over half of the states population! The Trinity River and its water basin also accounts for nearly 6% of our State’s landmass. Lake Lewisville is part of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and is comprised of over 233 miles of shoreline and 9,000 protected acres of nature. In addition to providing drinking water to Denton and Dallas County communities, Lake Lewisville is also a recreational area with a multitude of activities available, such as fishing, water sports, boating, biking, and miles of scenic hiking trails. It has even been named the official "Urban Bass Fishing Capital of Texas”.

KLB supplies participants with cleaning supplies, waterway education, free t-shirts, and goody bags as well as door prizes to show our appreciation for all of our volunteers who participate.

KLB is one of 42+ regional affiliates that works with T.R.E.E.S. (Trinity River Environmental Education Society) to help promote the Trinity Trash Bash and clean waterways in Texas.
