St. Johns River Cleanup
March 17, 2012
8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

In conjunction with National River Cleanup, the  next St. Johns River Cleanup will be from 8:00AM to 11:30AM.  Click on the “Map of sites” link below for tentative locations.

Pre-registered participants will receive a free t-shirt.  Plastic bags and gloves will be supplied at each site.  Pre-registration has closed.

Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes and bring work gloves.  Rakes, shovels, and trash grabbers may be helpful but not necessary.  Steps should be taken to protect yourself from the sun.  Bottled water is a good idea to bring.

Volunteers with vessels who can get on the river are welcome also.  Tires, white goods (appliances, electronics) and hazardous waste will be piled separately from other trash.

Previously, the 15th Annual St. Johns River Cleanup was held on April 2, 2011. A total of 490 participants collected 6-tons of debris from 59 miles of river.  Some of the unusual items removed include a bike, toilet, traffic cones, roof shingles, vehicle batteries and bumpers. Photo album.

Make every day "St. Johns River Cleanup Day" - bring back a bag of trash every time you go to the river!  Support the river all year long with a new specialty license tag.
