NOTICE: The North Texas Community Cleanup Challenge website is currently down for maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience; staff are working to resolve the issue and bring the website back online! Communities currently participating, or interested in participating, can find helpful information listed below. 

The North Texas Community Cleanup Challenge is an annual region-wide litter cleanup competition among North Texas communities to see who can pick up the most litter per resident.  Communities, churches, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, companies, activists, or just ordinary citizens can organize litter cleanup events or simply log existing events and efforts as they occur. At the end of the contest, the community with the most litter cleaned up per resident will receive the North Texas Community Cleanup award that they can proudly display in their city hall. The trophy will move from community to community, each adding their name to the legacy of litter cleanup efforts.

The fourth annual North Texas Community Cleanup Challenge and Mayors' Challenge was held from March 1 to May 31, 2024. To participate in a future challenge or update your participant contact information, please send an email to stormwater@nctcog.org.
