Millions of tons of trash end up in our nation's rivers and streams every year. American Rivers is a proud sponsor of National River Cleanup (TM), the most popular and successful stream cleanup program in the country that taps into the civic pride of tens of thousands of volunteers across the country.
National River Cleanup (TM) is a year-long event. This year's event officially kicks-off May 31st - June 8th, though American Rivers will help support cleanups planned before May 31st.
Since the launch of this annual event by America Outdoors in 1991, more than 600,000 volunteers have participated in thousands of cleanups across the country, covering more than 100,000 miles of waterways. These cleanups have removed more than 1,000 tons of litter and debris from America's rivers and streams.
National River Cleanup (TM) 2007 was the most successful year to date, with more organizers and cleanups than ever before, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Organize a cleanup in your area and get free trash bags to help with the event! Oregon cleanup leaders are needed now!
