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 and has numerous cleanup locations attended by hundreds of wonderful volunteers.
We provide gloves, bags, bottles water, and t-shirts for those who register.
Along with indicating interest here (allowing us to verify your hours), please register with the Clean Sweep on their website. You can also find all of the locations there. https://www.cleansweepofthegreatmiamiriver.org/
A limited number of volunteers will be in kayaks in the Middletown area. To reserve a kayak, please contact BAABS Kayak Livery directly. (513) 217-7070
