Project Clean Stream began in 2002 as a small partnership with local groups. Today, it is the largest cleanup effort in the Chesapeake Bay region! Last year, our volunteers removed over 12.5 tons of litter from our local waterways.
Every year, thousands of volunteers join forces for the Alliance’s Project Clean Stream! Together, we pick up litter from local parks, neighborhoods, and waterways like streams and rivers.
It’s easy to get involved and make an immediate environmental impact. We work with “Site Captains” to plan local events and provide free supplies, including trash bags and gloves. Anyone can become a Site Captain and lead a cleanup, as long as the event takes place within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Project Clean Stream is all about teamwork. We partner with residents, businesses, schools, and local groups to take real action for our water. By picking up trash, volunteers see firsthand how our daily choices affect the health of our environment. It is a great way to protect your community and help build a cleaner, stronger future for the Chesapeake Bay.
