Great Truckee Meadows Community Clean Up Challenge!
Volunteers and Money needed to support the first-ever Great Truckee Meadows Community Clean Up. Help keep Truckee Meadows beautiful by volunteering time or donating money to support KTMB’s first-ever Great Community Cleanup on Saturday, April 22, 2006 from 9 a.m. to 12 Noon.

Volunteers are needed to help remove debris from common hot spot areas along fence lines and ditches. Volunteers will receive a free t-shirt, be provided Krispy Kreme coffee and donuts in the morning, and be treated to an “After Party” sponsored by Scolari’s and Silver Peak.

This volunteer effort is being coordinated by Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful in partnership with Washoe County Parks & Open Space, City of Sparks Parks & Recreation, Bureau of Land Management, City of Sparks, Washoe County Environmental Health Services, Washoe County, City of Reno, Scolari’s, Krispy Kreme, Silver Peak, Waste Management, Hobey's, United States Forest Service, 1-800-Got-Junk?, KTVN Channel 2, and KNPB Channel 5.

The KTMB Board and Fundraising Committee are working to raise $5,000 in the month leading up to the Great Truckee Meadows Community Cleanup! Without the support of individuals like yourself and community organizations such as the sponsors listed above, Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful would cease to exist. Your support makes KTMB’s volunteer recruitment, cleanup coordination and educational programs possible!
