Each year since 1989, an informal anti-trash crew has gathered on the banks of the Cuyahoga for RiverSweep, to pick up all that garbage people thoughtlessly dump all along the river corridor that then leeches into the river and contaminates it. Ugh. Since it started, volunteers have helped recycle 25,248 illegally discarded tires (don’t worry; there are plenty more for you to find!) and picked up nearly 1.55 million pounds of trash.
Volunteers can choose from a list of riverside sites throughout Cuyahoga County and sign up to join a group. Trash bags, gloves and t-shirts are provided. Bring water in a reusable bottle — don’t contribute to the pile of trash! — and a trash picker if you want, and wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothes.
