Big Sweep and RiverSweep This Saturday

(September 30, 2008) Big Sweep is October 4. This is an annual cleanup of rivers, lakes, and creeks. Last year more than 600 volunteers picked up 8 tons of debris in Mecklenburg County. Help us make it bigger and better in 2008!

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services will be manning eight sites this year, including Walker Branch Greenway (off NC 49 at RiverGate, across from Home Depot) -- or you can get your own group together and clean up a creek in your neighborhood and report your results online.

When: Saturday, October 4
Time: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Meet: At Walker Branch Greenway
Bring: Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.
Wear: Old clothes you don't mind getting wet and dirty, sturdy boots or shoes.
Provided: Gloves, trash bags, snacks and drinks.
All children 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
