Keep Roswell Beautiful and the city of Roswell have announced Saturday, Sept. 22 as the date of the annual “Rivers Alive” clean-up of the Chattahoochee River.
The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Riverside Park, 575 Riverside Road. Volunteers will pick up litter along the roads and in the river; remove privet, an invasive plant species; and mark storm drains in surrounding neighborhoods.
Awards will be given at the end of the clean-up for most trash collected and most unusual item found. Sponsors of this year’s event include Advanced Disposal, SuperTarget, Starbucks and the Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell.
Individuals, homeowners associations, Scout troops, schools, churches, clubs and service organizations are invited to get involved. All volunteers must register and have a Rivers Alive volunteer waiver completed and signed before arriving at the event. Registration deadlines are Sept. 7 for groups of 10 or more and Sept. 14 for everyone else.
