Project WASTE River Clean Up Event

Join the Bronx River Alliance for our upcoming Project WASTE event! This event is part of our hands-on outreach strategy which includes trash collection and assessment. As a volunteer, you will help our Ecology staff count, assess, and remove trash from the Muskrat Cove trash boom so that we can categorize floatable trash into distinct categories while keeping the river clean. Information on the quantity, toxicity, material, and brands of trash will help to identify sources of pollution and to inform communities, businesses and municipal officials of this Bronx River problem. The event will take place in-water at the Muskrat Cove trash boom. The activity will start around 2:30 p.m. and last until 4:30 p.m. All materials will be provided. Nearby transportation includes the 2 train at 233rd Street and the Metro-North at Woodlawn.
