We hosted 2 cleanups out of Rocheport, a cleanup/education event with Job Point out of Cooper's Landing, then the Clean Sweep comes to an end!
17 volunteers arrived to help clean up Boonville's stretch of the river. We camped 6 miles downstream of the boat ramp.
Unfortunately canceling our cleanup in Glasgow, we scout and move 13 miles downstream to Jameson Island, secluded in nature more than ever.
The crew cleans up the stretch near the mouth of the Grand River. We had to get creative to haul trash 7 miles to the Brunswick boat ramp with only 1 boat.
16 volunteers help clean up Miami’s river stretch. We managed to pull out 43 bags of trash, hitting our 2 millionth pound of trash!
Our Big Muddy Clean Sweep crew sets up camp on two different islands to remove several tons of trash from the river near Waverly, MO.
11 volunteers arrived at the Lexington boat ramp eager to cleanup. The Clean Sweep crew was surprised by loads of trash right behind camp!
Now camping at Alligator Cove, the crew enjoys off time in the shade, but the amount of trash found had us all a bit overwhelmed.
We kicked off the Big Muddy Clean Sweep with a massive Missouri River cleanup in Kansas City, then started working our way downstream.
