Garland citizens are invited to join Keep Garland Beautiful for the annual Don’t Mess with Texas Trash-Off on Saturday, April 10, 2010 from 8:30 am - Noon.
 
This state-wide event encourages the citizens to join forces and clean up Texas roadsides, neighborhoods, parks and more.  Each year during the Trash Off, volunteers help improve local water quality, restore natural beauty, and reduce potential threats to human health and wildlife.

Bring your family, friends, co-workers or organization members and join us for this fun and important event.  This is a great opportunity for students to earn community service hours.
 
You can choose a location to clean or we’ll help you find a spot.  Take a look around your neighborhood, school or local park area.  The goal is to keep all of Garland beautiful!
 
Trash-Off headquarters (*Registration, Supplies and Awards Picnic) will be at Granger Recreation Center (Annex bldg) at 1310 W. Avenue F, Garland, Texas 75040.  Trash bags, gloves and a limited number of trash “tongs,” will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
 
From 11 a.m. to noon we will celebrate our success with a complimentary picnic lunch, music and a fun awards program.
 
You can register in a number of ways.  *Registration must be received by April 1 to receive an event T-Shirt.
