Rinky, I tried to find a forum for every user group for the AZ outdoors. I'm sure I only hit a small amount of whats out there, but I'm exhausted from seeing all of the sites. There are about 20 different trucks I want to buy now! Every forum makes me want to buy one more!!!
haha! Tim H
I hope you guys don't mind me posting the logo's. I want to give credit and thanks to the companies helping out.
I wanted to thank Border Construction Specialties for stepping up big with the giant grill. Brandon, the president of Copper State Cruisers has gotten burgers and the use of this trailer sized grill donated for the clean-up! Thank YOU!

I know a lot of us have an SUV, Jeep or other "non" trucks. Although piling bags of trash in the back can work, many don't want to take the risk of hurting the interior of their vehicle or just don't have the room!
If you have a hitch mounted bike rack you may have the perfect alternative. I simply looped the bag back on itself to make sure it gets a good grip and doesn't go anywhere.
Take a look:



Keep in mind that the bags will sway around back there and I don't recommend any highspeed or highway driving with this set up. It may just make the difference in carrying enough trash to make a difference though.

Congrats on creating, motivating and organizing such a successful event Tim. 
Must be nice to have all your efforts reach such a grand reward. I see the buzz all over the net and it seems that all involved really took a lot from it.
