On this upcoming Thanksgiving weekend, Gear Hut is teaming up with Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB) to give back to the community.
On Friday, November 29, the duo is hosting its fifth annual Neighborhood Cleanup in the Wells Avenue District - a day of community service they're calling "#GreenFriday."
Anyone who'd like to participate can meet at Gear Hut at 318 Broadway Blvd in Reno at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. No need to bring your own supplies; bags and gloves will be provided by KTMB.
The cleanup provides a great way to kick off the weekend before Small Business Saturday and supports efforts to care for our local environment.
Urban litter takes the focus of this particular event, as it targets the buildup of trash in alleyways, street gutters and fence lines. This often-overlooked clutter can find its way into rivers, ditches and fields.
Another goal of the cleanup event is to prevent the burying of trash under snow, which can block drains that lead into the Truckee River.
