In celebration of Earth Day Weekend, the public can participate in the 23rd annual Watershed Cleanup Day from 8 a.m. to noon April 20.

Volunteers will visit sites throughout Centre County’s watersheds to clean up trash and litter and can then celebrate at a picnic at Circleville Park in State College.

Since 1997, Watershed Cleanup Day volunteers have removed more than 6 million pounds of waste from streams, roadways, sinkholes and illegal dumpsites, according to a press release. Last year, more than 600 volunteers helped remove about 35,460 pounds of trash from Centre County.

To join the 2019 Cleanup Day, visit www.clearwaterconservancy.org/wcd. Volunteers can suggest a cleanup site or be assigned to a site. All materials including gloves, bags and safety vests will be provided.

The Watershed Cleanup Day is led by ClearWater Conservancy in partnership with Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority and local partners.
