MORROW — Clayton County Water Authority officials are seeking volunteers to help with this year’s Rivers Alive Stream Cleanup at Swint Elementary School Saturday, Oct. 21 at 10 a.m.
CCWA’s Stormwater Management Department hosts this event for volunteers to work together to clean trash, litter and other debris from a local river or creek.
“This annual event gives volunteers a first-hand look at the damage done by dumping litter and other debris,” said CCWA Stormwater Director Kevin Osbey. “They can help restore the area along the Flint River and have fun working alongside CCWA staff and other community volunteers.”
Volunteers should arrive at Swint Elementary, 500 Highway 138 SE, Jonesboro, by 9:30 a.m. and wear outdoor clothing and waterproof boots
Commemorative T-shirts, gloves and trash bags will be provided.
After a safety briefing, volunteers will spend 45 minutes to one hour cleaning up along the Flint River with the event wrapping up at about noon.
Minors under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.
Clayton County’s event is part of the state-wide Rivers Alive volunteer cleanup event that targets all waterways in the state of Georgia, including streams, rivers, lakes, beaches and wetlands.
