Green Up the White on May 4!

We invite you to help us Green Up the White on Saturday, May 4, 2024!

To kick off the river recreation season, the WRP is coordinating a river cleanup event in conjunction with Green Up Day to remove as much trash from the White River and White River Water Trail access sites as possible.

In order to maximize our collective cleanup efforts, we have created a system that interested volunteers can use to sign-up to cleanup a specific White River site – see more information below.

How to Get Involved

Interested in helping us Green Up the White? Please follow the steps below to sign-up for a specific river cleanup site:

Step 1: Find a cleanup site – Please open the Green Up the White Sites List to find a list of river access sites in need of cleaning-up.

Step 2: Sign-up – Complete the Green Up the White Sign-Up to share your river cleanup plans. We will use the cleanup site information you provide to update the Green Up the White Sites List.

Step 3: Find Green Up Day resources – Visit this link to find more information about your town’s Green Up Day plans, including free trash bag pick-up locations, trash disposal locations, and more.

Step 4: Green Up the White – Visit your Green Up the White site on May 6 and dispose of the trash you collect at the nearest drop-off location (see town-specific Green Up Day info on this link).

Step 5: Share your results – Help us measure success by reporting your Green Up the White trash collection totals via the Green Up the White Trash Collection Report. We will tally the amount and weight of trash collected, and share the totals to celebrate our collective success!

Other ways to get involved

Got a new site? If you have identified a site along the White River that requires trash collection, but does not appear on the Green Up the White Sites List, please contact us: christian[at]whiteriverpartnership.org. We can add the new location to the List.

Please contact us with questions: christian[at]whiteriverpartnership.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

River trash report

We need your help to identify where trash was deposited along the White River during the summer 2023 floods.

We invite you to report any trash you find in or along the White River. We’ll use your reports to focus our cleanup efforts in 2024.

How to Get Involved

Do you know the location of trash in or along the White River? Please follow the steps below to submit the location of the trash:

  • Identify trash along the river – we are looking for the following types:

Flood-related trash – from large items in the river that require an organized effort to remove (gas tanks, home appliances, large pieces of metal, etc) to small piles washed-up on the banks

Tires – one tire or piles of tires

Trash dumps – recent or historic trash piles

  • Complete the Trash Report Form
  • We will follow up with additional details and clean up plans based on your submission
