RiverSweep is a wide reaching event with cleanup sites throughout Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. Each cleanup site has its own meetup location and site manger. Choose a site that works for you. Once you're a registered volunteer, you will receive additional information about your meetup location, site manager, and any special instructions via email closer to the event. Please only register at one location. RiverSweep begins at 9 am on May 3.
Please note: Volunteers are provided with gloves and trash bags. Trash pickers/grabber tools are not provided but you are welcome to bring your own. T-shirts are provided while supplies last to volunteers registered before April 28. We do our best to accommodate all but cannot guarantee t-shirts or sizes. Arrive early for best chances.
Registered volunteers will receive an email invitation to a Thank You Party after the cleanup event. Don't forget to RSVP to the Thank You Party!
