Last year, the Cleanup started and ended at our newest park, Manchester Street Park at 9am. Hundreds of volunteers, many Lawrence High and Community Day Charter School youth included, fanned out from Manchester Street along the River. 350 volunteers worked to pull out approximately 10 tons of trash from the Spicket River. To-date we've removed 92 tons of trash and over a 1,000 tires from the Spicket River Greenway. Event volunteers include students, institutions, corporate groups, and local residents. Each year we provide trash bags, gloves, and dumpsters for volunteers to utilize, logistical support, and a celebratory lunch for all donors and volunteers.
