“Keeping Mississippi’s highways clean isn’t just for aesthetic purposes – it’s about environmental responsibility, economic development and community pride,” said MDOT Executive Director Brad White. “I’m proud of MDOT’s litter prevention efforts, and I encourage everyone to help solve this problem by simply putting trash where it belongs – in a garbage can or recycling bin.”
Upcoming Trash Bash events:
- District 1 – Lee County – April 24
- District 3 – Yazoo County – April 24
In addition to the events listed above, a Trash Bash event will be held in Jackson on May 15.
