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.

you're interested in participating in one of the premier community conservation
events in the area,first visit the FAQ page, and
then head over to the Volunteer page to sign

river cleanups so, keep that in mind as you read it.) Volunteers should
bring: - Rain Gear-the cleanup will be completed rain or shine.

change rapidly in mid-May in northwestern Pennsylvania.
