Here is a video of the results from our event on September 28, 2024, ‘High Pass Dash-For-Trash’. Public Lands Day on BLM land just West of Junction City, OR.
- Thirteen Volunteers,
- 3 hours,
- 15 cubic yards of trash,
- 10 tires (graciously recycled by Les Schwab Tire Center, Junction City),
- and a total dump fee of only $62.00!
This location is not good for target shooting, as most places do not have adequate backstops. Illegal dumping is also evident in several areas.
There are good places to shoot and there are bad places to shoot targets. Choose your place wisely. It is YOUR responsibility to assure NO ROUNDS LEAVE THE RANGE!
When you see trash at a place where people shoot targets, whether it’s a legal place or not, please help clean it up. If it’s an illegal place, then hopefully people won’t think of shooting there if they don’t see any evidence. If it’s a legal place to shoot, you will be helping to save it from closure.
Trash breeds trash. It’s unsightly and is not natural to the forest (“If it didn’t grow there, it shouldn’t be there!”). A trashy target shooting site makes gun owners look bad to all who visit the forest. It causes complaints to forest officials about shooters. It damages the environment of the area. It causes shooting spots to get closed. I don’t like any of that. That’s why I started the Trash No Land organization.
Note: With so much trash on our public lands, we need your help to save and protect our great outdoors. Commit Random Acts of Cleanups when ever you visit! Additionally, join a group volunteer event to help! A clean forest is a safe and happy forest.
Thank you ALL!

This was my first cleanup event, and I really enjoyed myself. Can’t get weather much better than that, and the company was terrific.
Great video….See you next time!
Thank you, Randy! Enjoyed meeting you and really appreciate your help!
It was great to meet a bunch of new people and see some new area. Had a lot of fun. That was great for the dump fee.
Thanks for your help once again, Craig and Tracy!
