Why should I join the Spokane River Clean-Up?

DID YOU KNOW THAT SEPTEMBER 17TH IS NATIONAL/WORLD CLEAN-UP DAY?

On the same day as the Spokane River Clean-Up, millions of volunteers from all over the world will be picking up trash, litter, rubbish along rivers, in public parks, on hiking trails, and more.

This organized event is led by National Clean-Up Day, Keep America Beautiful, and Earth Day Network. They are working with grassroots organizations and community members to clean up green spaces, urban landscapes, and waterways across the U.S. With participation in all 50 States, their aim is to clean-up locations across the country, build an army of volunteers, and make a tangible impact on waste in the environment.
