WOODSTOCK, GA — Millions of tons of trash are left along our nation’s rivers and streams every year. Roadside litter also makes its way into our waterways through storm drain systems. All this trash takes away from the beauty and safety of our waterways.

It's time for City of Woodstock's Annual River Clean-up. To participate in the Little River Clean-up in Woodstock, meet at Olde Rope Mill Park at 9 a.m. There will be breakfast items and coffee provided in the morning. Snacks and water will be available during the clean-up.

After the clean-up lunch will be provided for all volunteers. There will be a limited supply of Rivers Alive 2019 T-shirts available.
