The Mint 400, in partnership with Republic Services and Sylvania Off-Road, has announced an industry wide desert clean-up event Saturday, February 28th in Jean, Nevada beginning at 10:00AM.  The goal of the event is to unite the off-road community and clean up waste dumped illegally in the Jean area as well as promote sustainable habits and responsible public land use to improve Southern Nevada’s pristine desert landscape.

The Mint 400 Republic Services Desert Clean Up presented by Sylvania Off-Road is focused around the Jean OHV area – land that is not only used for The Mint 400 race course, but also for numerous races throughout the year spanning multiple off-road organizations.
