Darke County Solid Waste District
Trash Bash 2020 Rescheduled!!
Do you want to help Darke County look it’s best? Join the Darke
County Solid Waste District in our twelfth annual Darke County “Trash
Bash” Community Clean-up Day on Saturday and Sunday, September 12 &
13, 2020. By participating, you help create a good impression on
prospective employers, retail businesses, professionals, and others who
visit our “clean” county.
"Litter brings more litter," Krista Fourman, Solid Waste District
Director said. "The cleaner you keep a place, the less chance it will
be littered. I think you pick up less litter if you keep an area clean.
It's easier for people to throw litter where they see tons of other
litter."
How can you participate? If you signed-up in the spring before
the Covid-19 pandemic hit, we are still counting on you to
participate. If you can NOT participate during these dates,
please let us know so that we may give your assigned roadway to another
group. If you want to participate but are not already signed-up,
contact the district at 937-547-0827.
The Darke County Community Clean-Up day is rescheduled for September 12
& 13, 2020, rain or shine. The collection is set to begin at
8:00 a.m. The district is looking for numerous groups of 4-6
persons to “pound the pavement” at their assigned 2-mile locations
picking-up bags of trash and recyclables. Clean-up groups can be
started with friends from school, work, church, and volunteer
organizations or clubs and there’s no age limit for volunteers.
Call the district at 937-547-0827 to for more information.
Sign-up forms can also be found on the district’s website:
www.co.darke.oh.us/solidwaste. New participants must have their
forms must be turned in by July 30, 2020.
Each group will be given black bags for trash and clear bags for
recyclables. For separating the recyclables from the trash, each
group will be awarded $75.00 (per 2+/- mile section) for
participating. Awards will be given to Darke County non-profit
organizations only. There is no limit to the number of groups
that an organization can enter. County highway employees
will follow assigned routes and will pick-up bags on the targeted
collection roads on September 14, 2020.
So, Darke County, Let’s Clean-Up!!
