Allegheny
River & Watershed Clean-up Welcome
to the Allegheny River & Watershed Clean-up website!
Since 2005,
almost 5,900 volunteers have donated more than 46,800 hours and have removed about
1,100 cubic yards of trash from the watershed. They have pulled out television
sets; microwave ovens; lawn chairs; refrigerators; 55-gallon drums; more than
18,000 tires and recycled more than 143,000 pounds of recyclable metal (that’s
more than 71 tons!). Countless bags have been filled with recyclable metal, glass,
plastic and aluminum.

3 days on the Allegheny River (2017 & 2024 Pennsylvania River of the

even more spectacular! If you're interested in participating

- Layered Clothing-Individuals come prepared for a range of weather conditions,
which can change rapidly in northwestern Pennsylvania.
- Food & Water-Individuals
are responsible for bringing their own lunch and snacks.
- Refillable water

We look forward to another great time this year!
