Your Hub for All Local Cleanup and Restoration Events
in the Tahoe Truckee Region

Beach, River, & Trail Cleanups

Our mission is bigger than just picking up trash — we’re here to build an army of volunteers who are passionate about protecting this place we all love. We aim to unite and support the many incredible organizations already doing vital work across our region, and work together to expand the impact of our collective efforts.

​

From the shores of Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake to the winding stretches of the Truckee River — including the popular rafting corridor from Tahoe City to River Ranch and the scenic Legacy Trail — to the hiking trails that weave through the Tahoe Truckee region, we’re committed to keeping our outdoor spaces clean, safe, and beautiful for everyone.

​

Whether you're a local resident, weekend visitor, student, or business owner, there’s a way for you to get involved. By working side by side, we’re not just removing litter — we’re restoring pride, protecting ecosystems, and building a more connected and conscientious community.

​

Together, we’re not just cleaning up. We’re showing up.

We believe that keeping our community clean is a shared responsibility — one that starts with awareness and leads to action. Whether you live here year-round, are visiting for the weekend, or are raising the next generation of environmental stewards, we all play a part in protecting the beauty that surrounds us.

​

We’re committed to educating locals, visitors, schools, and the LatinX community about the simple, powerful practices that make a difference: Pack it in, pack it out. Secure your trash, double-check your picnic spot, and be mindful that even a light breeze can carry away a forgotten wrapper or bottle cap. Most litter isn’t left behind intentionally — it happens by accident. But small changes in behavior can lead to big results.

​

Through school partnerships, bilingual education, cleanup events, and community-led outreach, we’re creating a culture of care, one conversation and one cleanup at a time. When we raise awareness and act together, we create cleaner trails, healthier lakes, and a legacy of stewardship for all who call this place home — or home for the weekend.

​

Together, we’re not just picking up trash. We’re picking up the responsibility to protect what we love.

Incluyendo a Todas las Comunidades

Creemos que mantener nuestra comunidad limpia es una responsabilidad compartida — una que comienza con la conciencia y se transforma en acción. Ya sea que vivas aquí todo el año, estés de visita por unos días o estés criando a la próxima generación de guardianes del medio ambiente, todos jugamos un papel importante en proteger la belleza que nos rodea.

​

Nos comprometemos a educar a los residentes locales, visitantes, escuelas y la comunidad LatinX sobre prácticas simples y efectivas: Llévate lo que trajiste. Asegura tu basura, revisa tu espacio antes de irte, y ten en cuenta que incluso una brisa puede llevarse un envoltorio sin que lo notes. La mayoría de la basura no se deja a propósito — ocurre por accidente. Pero pequeños cambios de comportamiento pueden generar grandes resultados.

​

A través de asociaciones con escuelas, educación bilingüe, eventos de limpieza y actividades comunitarias, estamos creando una cultura del cuidado, una conversación y una acción a la vez. Cuando nos unimos con conciencia y acción, logramos senderos más limpios, lagos más saludables y un legado de responsabilidad para todos los que llaman a este lugar su hogar — o su hogar por el fin de semana.

​

Juntos, no solo recogemos basura. Asumimos la responsabilidad de proteger lo que amamos.
