The Darke County Solid Waste District and 1 Shot Services recently

t-shirts that will be distributed to all participants of Trash Bash
2012. Kiteara also received a $75 Chamber Gift Certificate donated by 1

“We commend every student who took the time to submit a design into our
first annual t-shirt design contest for Trash Bash,” said Krista
Fourman, Director of the Darke County Solid Waste Distirct.
“Everyone who entered had such talent and great ideas. It was
hard for the Policy Committee to pick the top three winners.”
Also receiving prizes for their artwork for the Trash Bash 2012 t-shirt
contest were Shannon Wilds and Jose Moreno both from Greenville.
Shannon received a $50 Darke County Chamber Gift Certificate and Jose

“Trash Bash is becoming a huge volunteer event in Darke County.
Hundreds of miles of roadway is being cleaned-up in two days.” stated
Jim Schaar member of the Darke County Solid Waste Policy Committee.
How can you participate? The Darke County Trash Bash is scheduled
for April 21 & 22, 2012, rain or shine. The collection is set
to begin at 8:00 a.m. The district is looking for numerous groups
of 4 to “pound the pavement” at their assigned 2-mile locations
picking-up bags of trash and recyclables. Clean-up groups can be
started with friends from school, work, church, and volunteer
organizations or clubs and there’s no age limit for volunteers.
Call the district at 937-547-0827 to register your clean-up group or to
offer in-kind support. Sign-up forms can also be found on the
district’s website: www.co.darke.oh.us/solidwaste . Forms
must be turned in by March 16, 2012.
Each group will be given black bags for trash and clear bags for
recyclables. For separating the recyclables from the trash, each
group will be awarded $40.00 for participating. Awards will be
given to Darke County non-profit organizations only. There is no
limit to the number of groups that an organization can
enter. County highway employees will follow assigned routes
and will pick-up bags left on the targeted collection roads on April
23, 2012.
