The Don’t Mess with Texas Trash-Off is spearheaded by TxDOT and Keep Texas Beautiful and serves as Texas’ signature event for the Great American Clean-Up which is organized by Keep America Beautiful. This one-day event allows community members to join thousands of other Texans in their hometowns to make a big difference for our local environment. Join the City of Katy and Keep Katy Beautiful for a community recycling event to help keep recyclable trash out of landfills.
