The Basura Bash Planning Organization is a volunteer organization committed to increasing stewardship of the San Antonio Area Waterways through:

Mobilizing volunteers and hosting regular cleanups including  the annual Basura Bash.

Providing community education regarding water pollution and natural resource preservation.

Building public/private partnerships for the betterment of our community's environment.

 
Basura Bash is the largest single-day waterway clean-up in Texas and the only event that collects recyclable waste products. We've continued growing over the past 16 years in number of volunteers and waterways cleaned.

Our dedicated Volunteers' continued support and commitment to Basura Bash and keeping Bexar County waterways clean are a large part of our shared success.

Plastic bags are the #1 item collected during the Basura Bash!  Learn more about plastics, waterways and watershed management and a healthy environment...
