In Waco, Earth Day is More than One Day

Published on March 01, 2026

Waco thrives when we look after the land and each other. This Earth Day, our community is coming together to show that sustainability is built through small, everyday habits. It is more than just a single project or a large event. It is the steady work of keeping our neighborhoods clean and our local resources healthy.

We have a variety of events planned that are perfect for the whole family. Come learn about simple ways to help at home or join a group effort to improve our shared spaces. We hope you will join us for one of the following programs to see how much we can achieve together.
