Help MoDOT Clean Hazelwood Saturday During the No MOre Trash! Bash

Is there a better way to spend your Saturday morning that by cleaning up your community? Don't answer that question! Instead head out on Saturday to Lindbergh Boulevard and be a part of the 'No MOre Trash! Bash'.

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and area residents are cleaning the street Saturday as part of its month-long initiative. The event will begin on the Village Square Shopping Center parking at 9 a.m.

The goal of the annual No MOre Trash! Bash is to spread awareness of Missouri's litter problem on the ground and in water, and work toward making it a litter-free state. MoDOT and the Missouri Department of Conservation sponsor the event each year.

picked up more than 130,000 bags of trash and tons of other debris throughout Missouri. Each year, MoDOT spends more than $5 million to clear litter along highways throughout the state.  The Adopt-A-Highway volunteers and Stream Team volunteers spend countless hours during the year to help keep Missouri beautiful, but litter still accumulates in streams and along roads.
