Volunteer to Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB)

Hi, this is Matt Webber.

I'm the Adopt-A-Spot Coordinator for Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB).

I'd like to give you a quick overview of our clean-up program and ways you can be more active in our community.

KTMB has been active in stewarding public lands and parks through litter pickups and beautification projects in the Truckee Meadows since 1989. This program is intended to provide residents and groups with the means to help keep the region a wonderful place to live, work, and play for all.

This is a volunteer-driven program. We often have school groups, businesses, and clubs calling us to do clean-ups because they care about keeping their community clean and safe. These clean-ups create tangible results through the removal of waste from the community, and also create a sense of unity, friendship, and camaraderie among the people participating. One of the best aspects of doing a clean-up is that participants of all ages are welcome to join in: no one is too old or too young to help. Families often find that involving kids in a clean-up is a great way to teach children the importance of community and working together.

Participating in a cleanup with KTMB is FREE. We will provide trash pickers, trash bags, and tools for your cleanup. All you have to do is provide the enthusiastic volunteers!

Thank you for your time,
