Liberty Square
Each year, teams of students join together, grab a grocery cart and swarm into downtown Charleston searching for trash. Dash For Trash is a scavenger hunt where teams of students join together to collect trash in the community. Teams compete for prizes and to do their part in keeping their community clean. Different trash items have different values. For example, a team may get two points for picking up a hub cap, five points for an entire garbage bag of trash or 15 points for a plastic bottle filled with cigarette litter. Already have a team? E-mail volunteer@cofc.edu to reserve your spot today!
