Trash-a-thon 2021 is a wrap! We’d like to give a big thanks to the wonderful donors and cleanup volunteers who made this year’s event so successful. Together, seven teams picked up 6,235 pieces of trash and raised $3,187! Volunteers also found creative ways of transporting the trash they collected. Team Llama Squad used pack llamas to haul trash off of Clam Beach, and team Life Bike-quatic used bike trailers to collect garbage. We love to see our volunteers’ boundless creativity being used for such a great cause. We hope to see you all next year for Trash-a-thon 2022!
The aptly named team Llama Squad used pack llamas to carry trash off of Clam Beach!
Teen Sunset Scavengers collected over 1000 pieces of trash despite the rain!
Team Life Bike-quatic used their bike trailer "Deep Search" to collect these plastic containers, 5 large bags of roadside debris, plus a full bin of recycling during the NEC 2021 Trashathon.
NEC staff team joined Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction (HACHR) in their monthly cleanup near the Eureka Waterfront. HACHR hosts neighborhood cleanups the last Saturday of every month from 11am-1pm. Check them out at Facebook.com/HACHR707 and Instagram @ hachr707
