Trash Bash is the annual clean-up of Lakes Hamilton and Catherine, the
Ouachita River, and the Area Roads. This event which occurs in the fall
after Labor Day consists of a three-hour public clean-up effort of the
shorelines and area roads in Garland and Hot Spring counties. Groups
involved in Adopt-A-Highway, Road, or Spot programs are also
encouraged to schedule a litter pick-up on the same day. Volunteers
are all invited afterward to a free luncheon. All registered volunteers are
eligible for awards and prize drawings.
This event is coordinated by Trash Bash Council Inc. Members of the
council include: Entergy Arkansas Inc, Hot Springs Chamber of
Commerce, Garvan Woodland Gardens, Malvern Chamber of
Commerce, Hot Springs/Garland County Beautification Commission,
Garland County Sanitation, Hot Spring County Sanitation, City of Hot
Springs Sanitation, City of Hot Springs Parks Department, Lake
Catherine State Park, and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
This clean-up is held in conjunction with the Great Arkansas Clean-Up,
the annual statewide litter pick-up campaign presented by Keep
Arkansas Beautiful, a state affiliate of Keep America Beautiful Inc.
