We host a stream cleanup twice a year at different locations in Raleigh. Volunteers remove thousands of pounds of trash from local streams. This is a great way to be a part of keeping our waterways clean and healthy in just a few hours.
Working in the Stream
You'll be removing trash from the stream. We'll collect and dispose of the trash for you after each cleanup. Please wear outdoor attire and closed-toed shoes.

After the Cleanup
We appreciate the hard work that our volunteers put in during a cleanup event. You may find items like - trash, tires, scooters, tents, dog kennels, toilets, and mattresses in the stream. The more litter we clean out from the stream - the healthier it will be.
If this is something that you'd like to continue - take a look at our long-term volunteer opportunities.
Events
Staff hosts a stream cleanup in the spring and fall. These events are a great opportunity to participate in a one-time cleanup to get your feet wet and see if this volunteer program is right for you.
