 Mission Statement
The Basura Bash Planning Organization is a volunteer organization committed to increasing San Antonio's stewardship of the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River 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.
The date for our 2010 event will soon be posted.
Did you know that plastic bags are the number 1 item collected during the Basura Bash? As part of the 2009 event and our continued commitment to reducing waste, reusable canvas bags will be offered as an option instead of a t-shirt. The canvas bags are not guaranteed to any participants and supplies are limited.

Volunteers collected over 30.34 Tons of Trash, 1.5 Tons of Scrap Metal, 3.04 tons of Recyclable Material, and 500 Tires or about 5.5 Tons of Tires.
The Basura Bash Planning Organization would like to express our sincere appreciation for the support of Sponsors and all those who contributed to the 15th Annual Basura Bash River Clean-Up.
Basura Bash is the largest single-day waterway clean-up in Texas and the only event that collects recyclable waste products. Over the past fifteen years, this event has grown, not only by the number of volunteers participating, but by the number of waterways getting 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.
Thank you and remember Basura Bob says, "think green and keep it clean."
Sincerely,
Basura Bash Planning Organization
