Mint 400 Desert Clean Up presented by Republic Services
The Mint 400, in partnership with Republic Services, has announced an industry wide desert clean-up event Saturday, February 29th in Jean, Nevada beginning at 10:00AM. The goal of the event is to unite the off-road community and clean up waste dumped illegally in the Jean area as well as promote sustainable habits and responsible public land use to improve Southern Nevadas pristine desert landscape. The Mint 400 Desert Clean-Up event is presented by Republic Services, held in cooperation with the Southern Nevada BLM office. Directions to the staging site from Las Vegas, NV can be found on the pre-registration page. In 2017, Republic Services partnered with The Mint 400 for their inaugural Dash For Trash event. Volunteers removed 14.54 tons of waste from the Nevada desert in the Jean area, but the team identified more work to be done. The Mint 400 and Republic Services nearly doubled that number in 2018, clearing 22.06 tons (44,120 lbs.) of trash from our beautiful desert. Last year, the event had over 350 volunteers who removed 34.46 tons (68,920 pounds) of trash. Combined, the event has surpassed 140,000 pounds in the three years.
