Its goal is to make local parks and other community-use spaces worth visiting again and to bring community pride. KTMB exceeded expectations year after year with its volunteer cleanup signups: <strong>Adopt-A-Spot and Neighborhood Cleanups, Great Community Cleanup 2023, and Truckee River Cleanup 2023<\/strong>. Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktmb.org\/cleanups\">cleanups<\/a> and how to get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adopt-A-Spot and Neighborhood Cleanup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>167 cleanups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4,352 volunteers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11,220 volunteer hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>133,037 lbs. trash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>66,518 lbs. of green waste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause of this, KTMB is looking to expand our beautification and cleanup efforts by growing this program through additional funding and assistance from our municipalities and focusing on projects that have been delayed or neglected due to manpower and resources,\u201d Ewing said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding from Yardi goes toward making sure program projects are funded for supplies, tools, dumpsters, volunteer equipment and educational supplies. Funds also ensure both internal and external are maintained and up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are so grateful for the support we receive from Yardi to help KTMB continue being stewards of creating a clean and sustainable community,\u201d Ewing expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Waste, Watershed, and Weed Warriors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful is more than an organizer of beautification and cleanup projects. KTMB has a youth educational department that spends time in the classrooms of schools, teaching children the importance of what they do and how the kids can be a part of the solution through its Waste, Watershed and Weed Warriors programs. Each lesson is differentiated by grade level and focuses on one of the \u201cEnvironmental R\u2019s\u201d\u2014reducing, reusing and recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KTMB\u2019s sustainability department offers many resources for recycling. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktmb.org\/recycle\">Recycling Online Guide<\/a> is a comprehensive list of what can and cannot be recycled in Washoe County. It is maintained and updated quarterly or when a significant change in the local recycling stream happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volunteer Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi employees are encouraged to volunteer and participate in any KTMB cleanups. KTMB will also facilitate a unique clean-up if there is a public space the Yardi crew is fond of.
