Nobody Trashes Tennessee, the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s (TDOT) official litter prevention campaign, has received six awards from the Public Relations Society of America’s (PRSA) Nashville Chapter.
The 39th Annual Parthenon Awards brings together Middle Tennessee’s public relations professionals to celebrate outstanding work, honor the top PR campaigns and tactics, and recognize leadership in the industry.
Nobody Trashes Tennessee was awarded Parthenon Awards for its 2024 No Trash November initiative in three categories: Integrated Communications, Monthly Observance, and Kick-Off News Release. No Trash November also received an Award of Merit for Media Relations. Additional Merit Awards were received for Trash Masters Rewards Integrated Communications, which rewards individual actions towards litter prevention, and TDOT’s Bear-Proof Trash Can Campaign collaboration with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
“TDOT is honored with this recognition, but the real winners are our residents and communities that help to keep our state clean,” said TDOT Commissioner Will Reid. “Last year’s No Trash November included more than 2,200 volunteers participating in 154 cleanup events across the state. We are committed to litter prevention and awareness, and we are humbled by the numerous volunteers and communities that have invested year after year to help us in our cleanup efforts.”
The No Trash November initiative rallies residents, TDOT partners, youth organizations, and scouting groups to act during the month-long event to ensure the state’s roadways and waterways are safe from the harmful effects of litter. Last year, we removed more than 86,000 pounds of litter.
Over the past three years, TDOT’s Nobody Trashes Tennessee campaign has earned 13 Parthenon Awards and six Merit Awards. Additionally, the campaign gained national recognition at the 2024 PRSA Anvil Awards, receiving an Award of Excellence.
