WHY DO WE NEED THIS?
Our first cleanup in May 2008 was huge — the largest Nashville has ever seen! Since then we gifted more than 2,800 collective work-hours to the environment and filled seven (7) commercial roll-off dumpsters from Waste Management, Inc. with trash. Bottles, cans, plastics, coolers, tires, styrofoam, chairs & BBQ grills, full-sized traffic light, office copier, a residential air conditioner, even a mannequin arm. All totalled, we collected 140 cubic yards of trash – more than an average shopping mall produces in a month!
Unfortunately, that’s just 40% of the estimated surface trash at Percy Priest Lake – even Music City’s largest water cleanup wasn’t enough. So join us as we continue this very necessary public campaign against litter on Percy Priest Lake’s 24 islands and 213 miles of shoreline.
