Pick It Up – Toss No Más 2026 Plastic Free July Community Cleanup on Saturday, July 18th from 9 am-12 pm at Gila Community Foundation parking lot 

This July, we're encouraging our Silver City community to increase their independence from plastics. Plastic Free July is an annual reminder to evaluate your household's consumption of plastic products, identify easy choices you can make to reduce future plastic purchases, and re-use plastics before throwing this valuable, non-renewable resource into the trash. Only 8% of plastic containers and packing materials are recycled in New Mexico, making refusing or reusing the best consumer choices when it comes to new plastic or plastic-wrapped products. For plastics that have already been dropped as litter, we need to pick it up and take it to a landfill before it further degrades in our environment. You can help our community this July: say no to a single-use plastic and join our next community litter cleanup on Saturday, July 18th. From 9 am - noon, join fellow Pick It Up–Toss No Más volunteers to work together to clean roads, public spaces, and waterways around Silver City.
