Canalway RiverSweep

Canalway RiverSweep

Several Judges and Court staff took part in the annual Canalway RiverSweep on Saturday, May 7! In total, 950 volunteers removed 23 tons of trash!

 

Over the course of 30 years, more than 20 thousand volunteers have helped extract and recycle 24,757 tires and picked up 740 tons of trash.

 

The impact of RiverSweep on the community is undeniable. Within the Cuyahoga River watershed, new parks and trails have emerged in areas formerly targeted for illegal dumping. As a result, more than 400 acres of new greenspace have been cleaned, conserved and open to the public along with an additional 14 miles of trails.
