Neighborhood Associations,

 

Please join Keep Albuquerque Beautiful and the City's Solid Waste Management
Department on Saturday, October 23, for the third annual Keep Albuquerque
Beautiful Junk Jog plogging event. Plogging, a combination of jogging and
picking up litter, began several years ago as an organized activity in
Sweden because of growing concerns about marine debris and litter. Keep
Albuquerque Beautiful, alongside the City Solid Waste Management are
bringing this trend back to the Southwest by inspiring Burquenos to help
make our communities cleaner, safer, healthier and more beautiful.

 

Each plogger will receive garbage bags, gloves, and a litter grabber to pick
up the trash, as well as an official t-shirt. At water stops along the
route, volunteers* will cheer participants on and help ploggers exchange
filled garbage bags for new bags. At the end of the jog, each plogger's
trash will be counted. Prizes will be given to the individual and group that
collects the most litter.

Ploggers will have the opportunity to jog a 1-mile loop (or more if they
choose) while picking up litter along two Bosque trails near Central and
Sunset. Participants are invited to register as individuals or to form Junk
Jog teams to help keep Albuquerque's Bosque beautiful. Check-in will be at 8
a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23.
