6th Annual Delaware River Cleanup

Saturday September 16, 2023
8:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Delaware River Greenway Partnership (DRGP) has joined forces with NJ Clean Communities programs in Hunterdon and Mercer County and the NJ Park Service to help tackle the litter along the shore of our Wild and Scenic Delaware River. We hope you can join us in our efforts.

This year's cleanup includes eighteen areas along the river ranging from Holland Township in Hunterdon County all the way to Duck Island at the Abbott Marshlands in Hamilton! In addition to shoreline cleanups, there will be one boat-based cleanup as well at the Giving Pond in Bucks County.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: http://bit.ly/3qIB9qW To register, click on one of the cleanup registration locations on our webpage. Additional information about each site will be provided along with the required waiver form. Children are welcome and encouraged to help! Registered volunteers should bring insect repellent and water. Comfortable clothing, long pants, and closed-toe shoes are mandatory. Participants will be provided with trash bags and gloves.
