This November marks the 5th anniversary of No Trash November, and we’re calling on volunteers, communities, schools, businesses, and organizations across the state to step up, show out, take pride and keep Tennessee beautiful.
No Trash November encourages everyone to take action and pride in their surroundings. Whether you’ve participated in this initiative every year since its inception or are hearing about it for the first time, we welcome you to get involved! We welcome you to get involved! Whether you’ve participated in this initiative every year since its inception or are hearing about it for the first time, It’s a great opportunity to come together with your neighbors, friends, and colleagues and make a positive impact on our environment.
Five Years Strong and Growing
What began as a simple challenge has transformed into a full-fledged movement. Over the past four years, thousands of volunteers have rolled up their sleeves, picked up bags of litter (as well as tires, mattresses, and more), and demonstrated that when Tennesseans unite, real impact happens.
This year’s campaign is shaping up to be the largest yet, with many cleanups already scheduled and plenty of time to organize your own! From city streets to backroads, and from parks to playgrounds, every piece of litter collected is a victory for your community and our state.
It’s More Than Just Trash
No Trash November isn’t just about cleanup; it’s about community, pride, and a little healthy competition. When you report your cleanup efforts, you’re doing more than just helping Tennessee track its progress. You can enter to compete for the coveted No Trash November trophy by adding your cleanup to our event calendar and then reporting your results through the form. Past winners have rallied their community groups, churches, companies, schools and scout troops! How will you participate?
Bonus: When you register your cleanup event on our calendar, you will receive 10 free t-shirts to help your team stand out while they clean up!

The rewards keep coming! When you join Trash Masters Rewards, we recognize and reward your efforts even more.
