Trash Free Gulf—a statewide cleanup campaign presented by The Gulf Trust and H-E-B's Our Texas, Our Future has returned for its second year and is expanding with more than 60 cleanup events focused on protecting the streams, rivers, lakes, and bays that ultimately flow into the Gulf.
With outdoor recreation and travel picking up in the coming months, the campaign highlights how inland communities play a direct role in the health of Texas’ coastal ecosystems, where marine debris continues to accumulate at high rates. Last year, more than 2,000 volunteers removed over 30,000 pounds of trash, and this year’s effort aims to surpass 45,000 pounds while also contributing data to support long-term litter reduction strategies in partnership with Keep Texas Beautiful.
