HAHNVILLE – St. Charles Parish will once again go green March 24 with the fourth installment of the spring parishwide Trash Bash, a litter cleanup and recycling awareness event to be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Volunteer sign up forms will go out with water bills soon. Those interested may also sign up as team captains or individuals at www.scptrashbash.org or by calling 985-331-8604.

Groups of volunteers will fan out around the parish beginning at 8:30 a.m. to clean up litter hotspots in their respective communities. Volunteers can either choose their own areas to clean or be assigned one. All equipment will be provided, including pickup sticks, gloves and trash bags.

Service hour verification certificates will be available for those needing hours for school or church requirements.

A culminating celebration will kick off at 11:30 a.m. at the East Bank Bridge Park in Destrehan.

Volunteers and the community are invited to enjoy free food, music and information about local recycling efforts. Please note this event does not include a recycling drop off event.

In addition, awards will be given to teams that provide the most volunteers and collect the most trash.

Previous volunteers are asked to rewear their Trash Bash T-shirts if available. New volunteers who wish to reserve a specific T-shirt size should sign up as soon as possible.

More information about event sponsors and activities is forthcoming.
