Memphis Athletics and Nobody Trashes Tennessee Team Up for Blue & Gray Cleanup Day
Apr 18, 2023 | General, Special-Events
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis Athletics and the Tennessee Department of Transportation's (TDOT) Nobody Trashes Tennessee litter prevention campaign are joining forces for the annual Blue & Gray Cleanup Day. Held on April 19 from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m., the community cleanup includes coaches, student-athletes, and athletic department staff.
The annual event cleans up several roads around the University of Memphis campus and nearby neighborhoods. In addition to the beautification of Memphis communities, the event aims to help raise awareness of Tennessee's litter problem.
"We are excited to spend some time in our own backyard again this year for Blue & Gray Cleanup Day," University of Memphis Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Laird Veatch said. "Last year's event was very impactful and allowed our student-athletes, coaches, and staff to come together for a great cause. We are proud to continue our partnership with Nobody Trashes Tennessee and look forward to making an impact in our University community."
Cleanup participants will meet on campus in the plaza adjacent to the new recreation center where they will receive cleanup supplies and safety instruction. They will clean up along four routes along Southern Ave. and S. Highland St.
Throughout the spring, Nobody Trashes Tennessee partners with organizations like Memphis Athletics on cleanup events across the state. Learn more about the state's litter reduction and education efforts and how to join the movement to end littering at NobodyTrashesTennessee.com. Two ways to get involved include the no-cost Adopt-A-Highway Program and reporting littering incidents through the Tennessee Litter Hotline (1-877-8LITTER). Join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
