Great American Cleanup
Help keep Nashville beautiful by organizing a volunteer roadside litter cleanup as part of the Great American Cleanup from March 1, 2025 through June 22, 2025.
Organize a clean-up in your neighborhood:
- Register your clean-up online and signup for free supplies (bags, gloves, safety vests, etc.).
- Check out resources for clean-up organizers from Hands on Nashville
- Place all the trash bags from your cleanup in one spot for Metro Beautification staff to pickup
- Share before and after picture of your cleanup on social media and tag the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) (@NashvilleDOT or facebook.com/NashvilleDOT)
Don't Be Trashley!
The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) recently launched a comprehensive litter prevention marketing and education campaign, and the star of this campaign is a litterbug that we love to hate. Meet Trashley, Nashville’s most notorious litterbug. She’s the daughter of the infamous TDOT Tennessee Trash Man from the 1970’s tv ad and like her father, she’s got a bad habit of leaving garbage wherever she goes. But lucky for us, her neighbors have something she doesn’t: pride in our city!
She may have a catchy song, but she has some very bad behavior. With your help, we can show Trashley that litter does not belong in our streets, parks or neighborhoods.
Report any litter through hubNashville to Keep Nashville Beautiful and Clean.
