We are thrilled to announce our 2nd annual Cleanup Challenge, which will take place in April. The Cleanup Challenge is a yearly event that Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful host’s during a one-week period from April 17 – April 23. This coincides with Earth Day, which is on April 22. During that week, we ask locals to form teams and go out and pick up trash around their community. It’s a great opportunity for people to get outside, get some exercise, and do something good for their community. After the event, we will award prizes to winning teams and have a celebration to thank everyone for their hard work. We believe that this event not only helps clean up our community but also builds community spirit and pride.

Last year, the event was a great success, with 17 teams competing and nearly 500 people between them. We collected 164 bags of trash and 175 larger items such as tires from various parts of Soddy-Daisy, including Lovell Rd, Dallas Hollow, Sequoyah Access, W Ridge Trail Rd, Mountain Rd, Montlake Rd, North Chick Creek Trailhead, Lee Pike, Mt. Tabor, Frontage Rd, Dayton Pike, Durham St and Daisy Elementary campus.

Our partners last year included the City of Soddy-Daisy, Public Works and Police, TVA, Lyndhurst Foundation, and the Soddy-Daisy Fire Fighters Association.

This event is open to all residents in Hamilton County, TN and the surrounding areas. We invite you, your family, friends, school, club, church or business to compete for prizes to see which team can cleanup the most trash in Hamilton County.

Contest Rules

---

There’s really only a few rules.

1. You must create your team online. Even if its just you, you need to register your team.
2. Safety first. Read the safety guidelines BEFORE you and your team venture out to do a cleanup.
3. Wait until April 17 before you do your cleanup(s). Do your cleanup(s) any time between April 17 and April 23. You can do multiple cleanups throughout the week if you wish. At the end of the week, we add up all your bags/tires/etc from all your cleanups for contest purposes.
4. In order to be eligible for the contest your team must submit each cleanup’s information (after you finish a cleanup), including photos (of bags and items collected and a photo of your team in the field). We also need to know WHERE to pickup the collected trash so we can dispose of it. You can do that here.
5. Bags and items collected will be calculated based on size and/or weight and its solely up to the Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful team on how to calculate them for contest purposes.
6. Any bags/tires you find you can just leave on the side of the road. Be sure that they do not impede traffic.
