Living Lands and Waters (LLW), an Illinois-based non-profit dedicated to cleaning up America’s rivers, spent nearly two weeks hosting volunteer clean-up days on the Delaware River. Held Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, the clean-up effort was sponsored in part by Philadelphia Water and resulted in the removal over 35,000 pounds of trash. Here, volunteers from Philadelphia Water and the Delaware River Basin Commission join the LLW crew for a Sept. 1 clean-up just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge that netted 26 large bags of recyclable bottles and 17 30-gallon bags of non-recyclable trash.

People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them

Some folks from my missional community and I went out to Bastrop to help a family with the cleanup of the location where their house once stood.
It is a heart-wrenchingly beautiful thing to see a family home resurrected from the remains, and we are looking forward to assisting them with this more.
This will be an ongoing project, more from this soon.
