May 31 – Trash Trap Cleanouts

Screenshot

Help keep our waterways clean by volunteering at Haw River Assembly’s litter traps! These devices catch trash in urban streams before it reaches major waterways, while protecting local wildlife. You can choose from multiple locations in the watershed! Registration required to ensure adequate equipment and staffing.

To volunteer: Sign up for our Trash Trap list-serv for updates (Be sure to pre-register monthly to confirm attendance.)
