The Clean Sweep is an annual volunteer event focused on removing trash and restoring the health of the Great Miami River. This river cleanup is about much more than picking up trash. It’s a day for communities to demonstrate their desire for clean water and healthy rivers. It’s an opportunity to learn about our river, and it’s a time to come together with your families, your neighbors, your community, and your friends to accomplish something vital and worthy on behalf of our Great Miami River. This cleanup is coordinated by many partners, attended by hundreds of wonderful volunteers, and helped through the generosity of our sponsors.

Other Cleanups

There may be other cleanups taking place, contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District to see if they know of any scheduled.
