Junk Jog Event Invites Public to Exercise and Pick up Litter

Posted on by

You’re invited to join Keep Albuquerque Beautiful and the City’s Solid Waste Management Department on Saturday, October 23, for the third annual Keep Albuquerque Beautiful Junk Jog plogging event. Plogging, a combination of jogging and picking up litter, began several years ago as an organized activity in Sweden because of growing concerns about marine debris and litter. Keep Albuquerque Beautiful, alongside the City Solid Waste Management are bringing this trend back to the Southwest by inspiring Burquenos to help make our communities cleaner, safer, healthier and more beautiful.
