    Trash Bash 2025

    The 31st Annual Trash Bash®

    What is Trash Bash 2025?

    Join us on Saturday, March 29th for the 31st annual Trash Bash!

    Trash Bash is the largest, single-day waterway cleanup in Texas.  Volunteers do all the work to help restore a vital part of the Texas geography.

    The annual event was founded by the Houston-Galveston Area Council and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in 1994.  Starting with seven sites and 3,000 volunteers, Trash Bash has grown to 16 sites across the Galveston Bay Watershed, with an average of more than 4,000 volunteers each year.

    Managed by the Texas Conservation Fund, the bash receives additional coordination and guidance from H-GAC and its coordination committee.

    Financing comes in part through grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.  Trash Bash 2025 is an approved recipient for TCEQ Supplemental Environmental Project funds.

    This is making a difference

    In the 30 years and counting of the Trash Bash, look what has been picked up and removed from our waterways:

    • 2,400 total tons of trash
    • 5 tons of recyclable materials
    • 11,965 tires

    It’s mind-boggling to think of all the damage this waste could have done to the waterway if so many inspired volunteers hadn’t given their time to help clean it out.

    Be a sponsor

    In addition to volunteers to work on the ground, Trash Bash 2025 also needs sponsors to help defer costs.  TGB Group has proudly served as a SILVER SPONSOR supported a number of bashes, and we’ve found it amazingly rewarding.  If, like us, you’re committed to keeping Texas clean and beautiful, consider being a sponsor for this great event.

    We hope to see you out in Galveston Bay in March 2025.  Let’s do this for Texas!

    The event is being held on March 26, 2022, so mark your calendars.  Running under the slogan, “Clean it Like You Mean It,” the event will be actual and not virtual, but organizers will still follow important public health guidelines.

    Key guidelines include:

    • Masks are recommended, particularly during registration, lunch time and when collecting supplies
    • Maintain the usual six-foot distance between yourself and others
    • Don’t attend the Trash Bash if you have Covid-like symptoms, have tested positive or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive

    About Trash Bash

    The mission of Trash Bash is to clean up and promote a healthy Galveston Bay (Texas) watershed.  It was created in 1994 by the Houston-Galveston Area Council and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

    The first year launched with about 3,000 volunteers working at seven sites.  The event has since grown to approximately 4,000 volunteers each year with a cleanup area involving 16 sites across the Galveston Bay Watershed.

    Trash Bash is managed by the Texas Conservation Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, with additional guidance and leadership from its Coordination Committee and H-GAC.
