World Clean Up Day 2023 in TorC

MainStreet Truth or Consequences is excited to take part in World Clean Up Day on September 23rd, 2023, and there’s a wonderful opportunity for you to personally leave your mark on the Downtown District! Join MainStreet Truth or Consequences and several other local groups at the Healing Waters Plaza and help make a difference.

A word about World Clean Up Day on September 23, 2023. People in 180 countries are standing up against the global trash problem by working to help clean up waste on World Clean Up Day making it the biggest positive civic action the world has seen.

Over 50 MILLION Volunteers since the inaugural event in 2018 have taken part in this worldwide event and we want Truth or Consequences to join in too!

MainStreet Truth or Consequences will be collaborating with the City of Truth or Consequences, T or C Litter Pickers, the Recycling Committee, The Sierra County Arts Council, Chamber of Commerce and of course the Truth or Consequences Sanitation Department to bring this event to life.

Adopt a Trash Can

This year we are asking locals to adopt a trash can and paint it to be unveiled on September 23rd, 2023!

How it works: We have 6 trash cans looking to be adopted for a year. Interested parties — individuals or organizations — will need to submit an application form. If selected, the design will need to be painted on September 21st / 22nd for a reveal at the World Clean Up Day Litter Pick event on September 23rd.  MainStreet Truth or Consequences will supply a QR code on trash cans for a map to where they are located as well as artists info. We would also love to hear if you would like to help students from the local school to adopt a can too.

We will also have volunteers from the Tigers Unidos group from Hot Springs High School helping with the Litter Pick event!
