Are you tired of waiting for Clean Your Streams Day? Now you can do your own cleanup whenever you want with our new program: Clean Your Streams 365! With funding from the Toledo Community Foundation and a Litter Grant from the Ohio EPA, we are specifically targeting river sites that need more frequent cleaning than our large, one-day regional Clean Your Streams Day. With your help, there is less trash making its way into Lake Erie, the source of our drinking water.
With Clean Your Streams 365, volunteers receive all the cleanup materials they need including gloves, trash bags, nets, maps and an optional data collection form (to track the amount and types of trash). After registering, time and location for the cleanup will be determined based on the groups needs while taking in consideration and being flexible of water levels and weather. This program is great for volunteer groups of all sizes and ages making it great for corporations wanting to show community pride, youth clubs looking for community service or volunteer organizations taking ownership of their rivers. Sites are available in many communicates around Toledo focusing in Swan Creek, Ottawa River, Maumee River and Maumee Bay tributaries. More information and forms for Clean Your Streams 365 can be found here.
