Keep Truckee Green

Keep Truckee Green provides easy ways to help clean up litter and trash. Join the Truckee Litter Corps on the first Saturday of each month for a group clean-up at a designated location. You’ll get a TLC t-shirt and the opportunity to meet Truckee locals doing good. Or, try the Grab a Bag Program at local participating businesses. They provide the pick-up supplies for litter clean-up and you'll get a prize when you return your bag of litter.
