Trash Bash at Sims Bayou
Trash Bash is the largest water education conservation event in the state of Texas. Simultaneous cleanups are coordinated throughout the Houston Metro Area on the last Saturday of March each year. Thousands of volunteers spend the morning cleaning up our waterways! The Galveston Bay Foundation coordinates the Sims Bayou clean-up sites.
Trash Bash 2010
On March 27, 2010, 150 Galveston Bay Foundation volunteers cleaned Sims Bayou for the annual Trash Bash event. Starting from Glenbrook Park, Reveille Park, and Sims Woods, GBF volunteers cleaned 4 miles of shoreline collecting more than 90 bags of trash (for over 1,800 pounds of trash)! Additionally this year, GBF made a substantial effort to collect aluminum cans and plastic bottles for recycling; volunteers collected 17 bags of recyclables! After the cleanup, volunteers enjoyed lunch, door prizes, and the drumming of Angel Quesada—and some special helpers—at Glenbrook Park . Thank you to all the volunteers who came out!
