It's a 2024 garbage roll-call, y’all! 🤘 So far this year, with the help of 820 volunteers, we've removed roughly 242,000 pounds of garbage from 6 rivers! (And there is no sign of slowing down.) That's all! Have a great week, folks! #llw #rivercleanup #Keepitclean

It is always a fun time filled with hard work (and LOTS of styrofoam) when we cleanup with our friends at Anheuser-Busch With 60 volunteers we removed 11,505 pounds of garbage from the Mississippi River. Thank you AB for your continued support over the years! #rivercleanup

Fun fact: scooters can’t swim. Although a river scoot sesh sounds like fun, we suggest enjoying them on land! #liivinglandsandwaters #rivercleanup #keepitclean #cincinnati

Earlier this month, we joined our pals at TNRiverBeautiful to help tackle a massive cleanup on Lake Fontana in Almond, NC, and let's just say—those 12 dumpsters never saw it coming. Lake Fontana, you’re looking pretty sharp right now. 💪 #livinglandsandwaters #rivercleanup

A crisp morning greeted us on the Ohio River today. 🥶 We're on the move! Our crew and fleet are en route to Cairo, IL, where our barges will take a breather before catching a ride to Memphis to dive back into river cleanups. #livinglandsandwaters #maritime #rivercleanup
