BACKROAD TRASH BASH
2020-2021 Event Update
Due to the current pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 Backroad Trash Bash are cancelled. We hope it will return in 2022!
The funding of tipping fees for illegal dump sites cleaned up by volunteers - the SCRD's Good Samaritan Program - is continuing.
View the SCRD's Illegal Dumping webpage for more information about this issue.
