The Greater Nashville Litter Cleanup, organized by Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) and partners, is a Davidson County litter cleanup day taking place on October 19-20, 2024. Our goal with this event is to clean up at least 10,000 pounds of litter in one weekend across the County. That's 5 tons!

Davidson County Litter Cleanups

In addition to The Greater Nashville Litter Cleanup, we are organizing 30 individual litter cleanup events in Davidson County between August 2024 and December 31, 2025. This effort is funded by the Metro Water Services’ Davidson County Riparian Cleanup Grant.
The goals for this project are: 

• 50 tires pulled from waterways and recycled
• 15,000 pounds & 75 cubic yards of debris removed and recycled​

Why is this Important?

• TN spends $19 million of taxpayer money picking up litter.
• It is our responsibility to protect our waterways. They are home to countless species of fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. 
• We are rewarded with cleaner drinking water, better recreational opportunities, healthier fish,  a better environment and economy.

How can you help? 
By volunteering of course! Volunteers are essential to the project's success. With your help, we can have clean, thriving creeks filled with healthy fish and contributing to clean drinking water for our communities. Please click right for our current volunteer opportunities.
