About

Join us on Sunday, September 25th to clean up the Scioto River at the annual Scioto Sweep! We will have all the supplies you need including gloves, trash bags, and litter grabbers thanks to Keep Columbus Beautiful. We will all meet at Scioto Audubon Metro Park, then head out to clean Confluence Park and the areas north/south of the dam. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes. You may also want long pants if you plan to walk into the brush. 

This event is in collaboration with Scioto Fest and sponsored by Wolf's Ridge Brewing and Public Lands. Stay tuned for exciting programming available during the event! Breakfast will be provided for all volunteers thanks to Public Lands.

Safety:

Trash pickup safety: Do not pick up needles. Alert the site host right away if you find one. Do not pick up trash that is over 20 pounds. Do not pick up sharp objects and place them in a bag with the other trash, will rip bags and put all the waste picked up back in the ground/river. Avoid picking up leaky batteries or chemical/toxic contaminants. Again, notify team leads. 

From the River safety Page 13, American Rivers Cleanups: Be aware of slipping hazards, rocks sticks logs and even sand can be very slippery in waterways. You may step on trash that incidentally causes a fall. Watch where you place your feet and be careful when walking.
