2011 Highlights

Twenty-nine volunteer cleanups were held across Alabama during this year’s Renew Our Rivers campaign. More than 5,000 volunteers worked to remove over 165 tons of debris from state waterways on the Black Warrior, Cahaba, Chattahoochee, Coosa, Mobile and Tallapoosa rivers, and on Village Creek. Volunteers for Renew Our Rivers – one of the Southeast’s largest river cleanups – have collected more than 11.5 million pounds of trash and debris from Southeast rivers since the program’s inception in 2000. Keep an eye out for comprehensive 2011 totals coming soon.
