Keep Mission Beautiful leaders described their annual Trash Bash as the group's flagship volunteer event, reporting more than 400 participants of all ages and thanking local school districts for bringing students to the cleanup.
On the City of Mission podcast, Mario Cantu, chairman of Keep Mission Beautiful, described the organization's annual Trash Bash event and outreach methods including QR-code signups and social-media promotion.
