Southern Nevada holds some remarkable and rugged landscapes that are home to plants and animals and provide recreation opportunities to residents and visitors. Unfortunately, this proximity to modern society brings the littering and dumping to these natural areas and threaten the health and productivity of our public lands.
Under the Southern Nevada Agency Partnership and supported by funding through the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act, the region's Federal agencies came together to create the Don't Trash Nevada program.
Don't Trash Nevada Objectives:
- Design and implement an anti-litter desert dumping strategic plan and messaging campaign.
- Organize annual clean-up events on public lands in Southern Nevada and establish ongoing clean-up efforts that utilize alternative workforce options.
- Help strengthen law enforcement and judicial system support for anti-litter regulations and laws.
- Increase dumpsters, trash receptacles, and collection on Southern Nevada public lands.
- Provide information related to litter and desert dumping on Southern Nevada public lands.
- Develop an interagency recycling program strategic plan.
