We know that island weather can be unpredictable. To ensure every crew has a safe, clear window to complete their cleanup, we have officially extended the competition. The 2026 Dash for Trash will now run through both April and May.
This change gives our Adopt-A-Highway partners more flexibility to monitor the forecast and schedule their events when conditions are best for safety and visibility. If the clouds roll in on your scheduled day, you now have plenty of time to reschedule and stay in the running!
To make the competition fair for groups of all sizes, the winner isn’t necessarily the group with the most people or most bags—it’s the group that is most effective!
This “Bags per Volunteer” system ensures that a dedicated crew of four has the exact same winning edge as a crew of forty. Every single bag counts toward your final score and your chance to claim the Dash for Trash Trophy.
