MY TXST MY HOME

TXST is a home away from home for many of the students that attend the university. MY TXST MY HOME: A Cleaner Campus Starts Here was created to foster a sense of pride and ownership among the students of TXST. As TXST Bobcats, it is each of our responsibility to show our care and pride for our campus. We can each do this by ensuring our trash goes in the trash or recycling bin and picking up litter we find around campus. Taking care or our campus and community starts here.

Why Should You Avoid Littering? 

By refraining from littering, you can help TXST: 

  • Show Bobcat Pride
  • Foster a healthy campus
  • Keep campus beautiful to encourage new students to join the Bobcat community
  • Protect the sensitive environment TXST resides in and is surrounded by

By placing your trash in the correct place (the trash can), you are already creating a positive impact for our community. Why not take it a step further and pick up litter that you see while walking around campus? One piece of trash goes a long way! 

Get Involved!

The best way to join the campaign is to refrain from littering! If you want to go a step further, participate in clean ups around campus. Whether you would like to participate in an organized clean up or prefer to host your own, everyone can do their part to keep TXST Litter Free.
