Every September since 1997, volunteers have undertaken a Northwest Ohio environmental tradition of removing trash from their local streams, rivers, and ditches on Clean Your Streams Day. Partners for Clean Streams and collaborating organizations will host the program on September 28th this year, with seven kickoffs located around the greater-Toledo area. To date, more than 385,000 pounds of trash have been removed from area waterways by over 15,000 volunteers. On the morning of September 28, volunteers will begin at their registered kickoff. At each kickoff, volunteers will be provided supplies and safety training before spreading out to their assigned waterway clean-up sites. Following the clean-up, all volunteers are invited to an appreciation picnic, where they’ll enjoy free food, door prizes, and some preliminary results from the friendly-yet-competitive Challenge Awards. For more information regarding our Youth, Collegiate, and Corporate/Business competitions please view the Volunteer Resources section below.
