This March, Republic Services employees joined hundreds of volunteers in Southern Nevada for the annual Mint 400 Desert Clean-Up. The effort brings together the off-road racing community and local volunteers to remove illegally dumped trash from the Mojave Desert before the iconic Mint 400 race.
During this year’s event, volunteers spread out across the desert, gathering and hauling away trash. Republic Services supported the effort by providing several roll-off dumpsters, rear-load trucks and trash bags, while drivers collected trash and removed large debris.
“This is our 10th year as a sponsor for this incredible event,” said Steve O., Community Relations Manager. “Over the years, we’ve helped remove more than 600,000 pounds of trash from that area of desert. We cannot overstate the impact this has on our community and our environment, and we’re very proud to support it.”
Events like the Mint 400 Desert Clean-Up show what’s possible when we work together to care for the communities and landscapes we share.
