The Neuse River Spring Clean Up covers 50 miles of the Neuse River between Falls Dam in North Raleigh to Smithfield Town Commons in Johnston County. This is a real community effort, involving youth groups, church groups, civic organizations, college students and river enthusiasts.

Totals from last year's clean-up:
• Weight in pounds: 9,260
• Number of Trash Bags: 378
• Number of Tires: 44

How to Participate? (Everyone is welcome!)
Simply locate a convenient clean-up station listed below, mark your calendar with the date, and join us on Saturday, April 4.
• Each station has an on-sight Coordinator
• Gloves and trash bags will be provided
• Directions to clean-up stations are listed on the website:
www.neuseriver.org (Events)

Clean-up Station Locations
• Falls Dam (next to Paddle Creek)
• Buffaloe Road Canoe Launch
• Poole Road Canoe Launch
• Milburnie Dam Canoe Launch
• Highway 42, Clayton Elementary School
• Smithfield Town Commons

Large groups should coordinate the location with NRF. We do not want to have too many volunteers at one clean-up station and too few at another.

Helpful hints:
You should dress appropriately for the weather and prepare to get wet and dirty. You may want to bring sun screen, a hat, bug repellent and a snack. All volunteers must sign an insurance waiver. A parent or guardian must accompany volunteers under the age of 18.
