Memphis Athletics and Nobody Trashes Tennessee Team Up for Blue & Gray Cleanup Day
Apr 18, 2024 | 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 Monday, April 22 from 10:30-11:30 a.m., the community cleanup includes coaches, student-athletes, and athletic department staff.
"We are looking forward to the fourth year of the Blue & Gray Cleanup Day," University of Memphis Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Laird Veatch said. "This event is a highlight for our student-athletes, coaches and staff members each year as we team up to help make an impact in our University community. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with Nobody Trashes Tennessee with this fun and unique event that brings everyone together for a great cause."
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 cleanup aims to help raise awareness of Tennessee's litter problem. At any given time, there are more than 88 million pieces of litter on Tennessee's public roads, as indicated in TDOT's 2022 Visible Litter Study.
"Memphis Athletics has been a valuable Nobody Trashes Tennessee partner for many years, and we are thrilled to continue our work with coaches, staff, and student-athletes," said Brittany Morris, TDOT Transportation program supervisor. "These volunteers join thousands of others that are committed to keeping our state clean, safe, and beautiful by participating in cleanup events on Earth Day and throughout the spring season."
All year long, 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 help end littering at NobodyTrashesTennessee.com.
