Second Saturday Cleanups
Help us keep our community clean! Volunteers are essential in diverting litter and debris from entering our waterbodies. In 2023, volunteers collected over 24,000 pounds of litter from our roadways, railroad tracks, and creeks. Help us remove even more trash from our environment – see you at our next cleanup event!
