2024 Roswell Rivers Alive Annual Cleanup – September 21, 2024

8:30 AM – 12 PM

Rivers Alive is an annual tradition in Roswell and sparks renewed pride in our unique riverside city.

The event, co-hosted by Keep Roswell Beautiful and the City of Roswell, is part of a statewide campaign to clean and preserve Georgia’s 70,100 miles of rivers and streams.

It is a fun and rewarding way to spend a morning!

Litter pickup, storm drain marking, and non-native, invasive plant removal projects are all available. Project sites may include Riverside Park, Waller Park, Dotsie Garner Mills Park, Don White Memorial Park, Seven Branches, and sections of Big Creek, Foe Killer Creek, and Hog Waller Creek. Coffee and beverages will be provided, and early registrants can get a free Rivers Alive T-shirt! (While sizing and supplies last) Clean ups are family friendly, but ages 5 and up, please.

We can’t wait for you to join us!

2022 Roswell River’s Alive Cleanup was twice the fun as 2021! While 2021 was a huge year with over a ton of trash removed volunteers DOUBLED their efforts in 2022 and removed TWO TONS of trash from our parks and waterways! Litter pickup, storm drain marking, and non-native, invasive plant removal projects happened all over the City. Project sites included Riverside Park, Waller Park, Dotsie Garner Mills Park, Don White Memorial Park, Seven Branches, and sections of Big Creek, Foe Killer Creek, and Hog Waller Creek.
