It serves as Texas’ signature event for the Great American Cleanup – the nation's largest community improvement program – held annually from March 1 through May 31.

McKinney's 2012 Trash-Off is set for Saturday, April 14. Teams will start at 8:30 a.m. when participants arrive for check in. Teams are assigned specific areas of the city and are sent out at about 9 a.m. to pick up litter for two hours. City Environmental Services staff accompany each team and transport full trash bags. At 11 a.m. teams and staff will head back to Old Setter's Park for a final count of full bags and a lunch which begins at 11:30 a.m. . During lunch teams receive prizes, recognition and awards for contests like: "Most Trash Collected", "Most Items Found" and "Most Volunteers Recruited."
