Allegheny
River & Watershed Clean-up Welcome
to the Allegheny River & Watershed Clean-up website!
Since
2005, almost 5,500 volunteers have donated more than 48,000 hours and have removed
about 1,000 cubic yards of trash from the watershed. They have pulled out television
sets; microwave ovens; lawn chairs; refrigerators; 55-gallon drums; more than
17,500 tires and recycled almost 160,000 pounds of recyclable metal (that's
almost 80 tons!). Countless bags have been filled with recyclable metal, glass,
plastic and aluminum. Your past and ongoing support of our watershed cleanup
is greatly appreciated.

The
2023 (15th Annual) Allegheny River Clean-up was a fabulous success!
Almost
200 volunteers enjoyed very pleasant weatherover the course of the clean-up. In
the end we accumulated more than 80 tires (and some of them were HUGE!), 13 cubic
yards of garbage and (with the help of community contributions) 6,000 pounds of
recyclable metal.
The watershed and the community are better for your
efforts! Thank you! We look forward to another great time next year for
the Allegheny River Clean-up is SWEET 16!
