What is KTMB?
Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to creating a more sustainable and beautiful region through waste reduction, education and active community involvement.
We had a total of 1022 volunteers came out to help make our community a cleaner, healthier place by participating in KTMB’s Great Community Cleanup!
Volunteers worked at 30 sites spread throughout the community removing invasive weeds, picking up trash, cleaning up illegally dumped items from open space areas, spreading mulch in local parks, planting 41 trees to improve our urban tree canopy, and planting almost 432 plants to promote our region’s natural ecology. Trash included tires, yard waste, appliances, shot-up televisions, furniture, and over 1,100 tires, and more. Ensuring these potentially hazardous items get disposed of properly not only creates a more beautiful community but a safer and healthier one as well. Preliminary results from today’s cleanup show that over 158,695 pounds of trash (79 tons) and over 51,200 pounds (25.6 tons) of invasive weeds and green waste were removed during today’s cleanup event.
