THIS CRITTER DON'T LITTER! TXDOT AND BUC-EE'S® HELP TEXAS DRIVERS KEEP ROADWAYS, RESTROOMS CLEAN
What’s better than the clean restrooms at Buc-ee’s? Clean roadways on the way to Buc-ee’s. TxDOT’s Don’t mess with Texas® anti-litter campaign and Buc-ee’s joined together recently to reduce trash being tossed along Texas roadsides. You may have noticed Buc-ee the Beaver and Darrel the Barrel waving at you on billboards along your travel route as they remind you to hold onto your trash until you make a stop at the next Buc-ee’s. Get ready to see more of these messages as you drive on I-35. | Read More
