KAMLOOPS — Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and the City of Kamloops are encouraging the Kamloops community to join its spring cleaning.

The TRU Trash Bash focuses on picking up litter wherever in the community, beautifying Kamloops and protecting the Earth.

On April 15 and 16, people are asked to take a few moments to clean up litter and tidy their workplace, then on April 17 and 18, all Kamloops residents are encouraged to clean up trash wherever they want. Such as near their homes, streets, parks, and natural spaces.

The Trash Bash typically takes place in spring, although it was postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was held in November.

Participants are asked to clean-up by themselves or within their bubble due to COVID-19, along with wearing gloves and not picking up anything they don’t feel comfortable with.
