Trash Talkin’ – Tell us your River Cleanup Story

Thanks to all of you who picked up trash on your hometown river as part of National River Cleanup Week. By helping your local river become litter-free, you’ve raised awareness around the country that rivers are vital community assets—not places for trash.

Now, we want to hear your trash stories!

What was the craziest thing you found? Did the media come to your event? What were the top brand trash items? What surprised you about your trash cleanup? How did you feel at the end?

Whatever your story may be, we’d love to hear it. Here are a few stories from Indiana, Pennsylvania, Milwaukee, South Carolina and DC to get you started.

We look forward to hearing your trash talkin’ tales.

Keepin' it clean,
