Nonprofits in Daviess County still have time to apply to earn cash while cleaning up local roadways through the 2025 Trash for Cash program.

The program offers a unique fundraising opportunity by reimbursing qualifying organizations $130 per mile for collecting roadside litter. Groups are typically assigned five miles of cleanup, covering both sides of the road.

Trash for Cash is open to federally recognized nonprofits based in Daviess County. To be eligible, groups must submit a W-9 form and complete the application, which is reviewed and approved by Daviess County Fiscal Court on a first-come, first-served basis.

Once accepted, organizations will be assigned a cleanup date and route based on their availability and preferences. Group leaders must collect liability waivers from all participants before their scheduled event.

Applications are now open for clean-up dates in 2025. To apply or for more information, click here.
