Although this year’s annual Spokane River Clean-Up looked a bit different this year, we still made a significant impact for our beautiful Spokane River.

On Saturday, September 26th, 450 volunteers collected 4,620 pounds of trash! That’s 2.31 tons of garbage, litter, and rubbish that could have ended up in our river.

2.31 tons = 1 rhinoceros or 1.25 cars or 4 grizzly bears! It’s a lot to gather in just one day.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and made this unconventional Spokane River Clean-Up possible. We also want to thank our partners and sponsors: The City of Spokane, American Rivers, Roast House Coffee, 1st Avenue Coffee, and Brown Contracting and Development.

We’ll see you again next year!
