Dash for the Trash

Join us for this plogging (jogging & picking up litter) event and help keep our Bosque beautiful!

"Dash for the Trash" is an exciting community event hosted by Keep Albuquerque Beautiful and the Solid Waste Management Department, focused on beautifying the Bosque through a fun and competitive cleanup. Building on the success of our previous "Junk Jog" event, we are debuting the inaugural Dash for the Trash event on Saturday, October 12 from 9AM to 12PM. 

Combining exercise with environmental sustainability, we're putting a twist on the traditional cleanup by adding a little competitive fire. The competition will be measured by seeing who can collect the most debris while walking and jogging along the Bosque and, in doing so, we'll be enjoying and beautifying our community at the same time. 

Prizes will be awarded to the top cleaners and the top groups of cleaners, so participants will be welcome to sign up as individuals or groups.

Registration is open through Wednesday, October 9 via One ABQ Volunteers
