Celebrating 10 Years of McKinleyville Trash Bashes! 🎉🌎

This month marked a huge milestone—our 10-year anniversary of hosting bi-monthly, town-wide cleanups in McKinleyville! What started as a small community effort has grown into a decade of impact, and we couldn’t be more proud of the difference we’ve made together.

For this special cleanup, over 33 incredible volunteers came out to lend a hand. We branched out across several areas of McKinleyville, filling bags, hauling trash, and leaving our town cleaner and more beautiful than we found it. 💪 Every volunteer truly kicked butt!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, past and present. You are the heart of this movement, and your energy has kept our town shining for 10 years strong.
