BOISE, Idaho â A group that started as a Boise State University club is working to keep Boise streets litter-free despite its population growth.
âWe started with the simple purpose of keeping Boise clean throughout all of its growth,â Paul Venable, the founder and executive director of Trash Club, said.
The Idaho Department of Labor reports Boise grew 11.7% between 2010 and 2020, meaning the city gained more than 24,000 residents.
Venable said one of the things that makes Boise special is the cleanliness of the city.
âItâs a clean, friendly, safe place for people,â Venable said.
