Community Cleanup Challenge
The North Texas Community Cleanup Challenge is an annual region-wide litter cleanup competition among North Texas communities to see who can pick up the most litter per resident. Communities, churches, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, companies, activists, or just ordinary citizens can organize litter cleanup events or simply log existing events and efforts as they occur. At the end of the contest, the community with the most litter cleaned up per resident will receive the North Texas Community Cleanup award that they can proudly display in their city hall. The trophy will move from community to community, each adding their name to the legacy of litter cleanup efforts.
The fourth annual North Texas Community Cleanup Challenge and Mayors' Challenge will be held from March 1 to May 31, 2024.
