The City of Stillwater began coordinating the Annual Trash-Off event in 2006 to enable citizens to volunteer and clean up trash from areas all around town. During these events, citizens take to the streets and streams to show that “Litter is Not OK.”
Participants are able to receive verified community service hours and an award is presented to the group that collects the most trash.
Work gloves, safety vests and trash bags are provided.
For additional information on the event, contact the Watershed Quality division at (405) 533-8482 or email chris.franks@stillwater.org
