Trash Trap Cleanout (multiple sites)
September 28 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Come celebrate National Clean-Up Days by helping at one of our Trash Trap Cleanouts!
These traps sit in urban creeks and streams keeping manmade trash from entering main waterways. These devices are built to withstand the rigors of flashy rain events, yet are passive enough not to harm the local fauna. Roadside littering accounts for approximately 75% of the trash in our nation’s waterways. Each time it rains, trash is funneled through our storm drain systems directly into our creeks. No filters or other mechanisms are in place to keep the trash from entering our waterways.
We have multiple trash trap locations in the watershed, so please check out our form below to find the one closest to you!
