TEC Nashville Litter Clean-up: Whites Creek

Greater Nashville Litter Clean-up Event Oct. 7-8, 2023

The Greater Nashville Litter Cleanup, organized by Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) and partners, is a Davidson County litter cleanup day taking place on October 7, 2023. TEC’s goal with this event is to clean up at least 15,000 pounds of litter in one day/weekend across the entire County! "Cleanup Leaders" will take the initiative to organize a cleanup in their community, particularly at locations adjacent to creeks and waterways.

The cleanup will be held Saturday (10/7) from 9:00 am to about noon.

We will meet at the Whites Creek Greenway Trailhead at Hartman Regional Park Center. The address for the meeting location is 2801 Tucker Lane. Be sure to drive through the Hartman Park parking lot to the Greenway Trailhead.

The goal is to pick up litter in Whites Creek from the Tucker Road bridge downstream as far as practical. That means there will be some walking in the creek and in the woods. Dress accordingly.

 We (Metro Nashville) will provide trash bags, gloves, litter grabbers, and safety vests. Please join us. Stay as long or as little as you want.

Call or text me Buddy Koonce if you have any questions. 615-351-2966.

Whites Creek is a really nice urban waterway and worth keeping clean.
