Thor And KOA Join Forces On Trash Removal
Thor Industries Inc. and Kampgrounds of America (KOA) have partnered on a program called Pick Up America. The campaign’s first initiative encourages people to remove at least 5 tons of trash from public lands this summer.
Participants are invited to visit www.pickupamerica.com and pledge how many bags of trash they will fill and dispose of. Then they choose how to follow through with their pledge. Joining with others is encouraged. For example, groups might help clean up biking/walking trails; local, state, or national parks; picnic areas; rest stops; school campuses; or parking lots.
Participants are encouraged to post their efforts on social media using the hashtag #PickUpAmerica and tagging @ThorIndustries and @KampgroundsOfAmerica.
As of the end of May 2019, pledges exceeded the goal of picking up 5 tons of trash. The partnership of Thor and KOA will extend beyond 2019, with additional challenges to be announced.
