HELP KEEP TEXAS CLEAN
While the Don’t mess with Texas® campaign can help inform you about litter problems, we can’t do all the work ourselves. That’s where you come in!
Through programs like Adopt-a-Highway and events like April’s Trash-Off, you can pitch in and help us keep litter off our roads. People who get involved with anti-litter efforts help us spread the message in communities all across Texas. A litter-free Texas is better for us, our families, and our economy.
Here, you’ll find many ways you can do your part to keep Texas clean.
ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY
One of the best ways to keep our roads clean is to adopt part of a Texas highway! When you and your family, coworkers or friends take charge of 2 miles of state-owned roadway in Texas, you’ll be actively reducing litter throughout the state. Want to know more? Visit our dedicated Adopt-a-Highway page!
TRASH-OFF
Every April, Texans from around the state vow to clean up their local roads and highways. This event brings neighborhoods, schools, businesses and families together to make the Lone Star State litter-free!
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS MURALISTS
Art has always been an inspiring way to get a message across. Since 2019, Don’t mess with Texas has been partnering with artists to create murals that inspire visitors and locals alike to keep our state clean.
