Trash for Cash: Daviess County’s Roadside Clean-Up Program for Non-Profits

The Daviess County Solid Waste Department’s "Trash for Cash" program is a great way to keep local roads clean while supporting non-profit organizations.

Typically held in the spring or fall, participants choose a day to clean up, with the county providing safety vests, trash bags, and all necessary tools for the job. Here's how to apply for your non-profit.
