It’s that time of year again! EnviroScience’s Corporate Responsibility Committee (CRC) is looking for volunteers to help clean up the Little Cuyahoga River at our fall cleanup event scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 7, 2023, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

EnviroScience Volunteers Pose with Debris Removed from the Little Cuyahoga River

This is an employee-led tradition that EnviroScience has spearheaded since 2002—bringing ES employees, family members, loved ones, and community members together to remove trash from the Little Cuyahoga River and the Ohio & Erie Canal while raising awareness of the litter problem in our local streams.

This has always been a fun event, all ages are welcome, and we need all the help we can get! Here’s what you need to know:

Senior Environmental Scientist Yakuta Bhagat Removing an Old Tire from the Little Cuyahoga RiverWho: Anyone willing to help! We’ve had volunteers of all ages at this biannual event.

When: October 7, 2023, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Where: Mustill Store, 57 West North Street, Akron, Ohio 44304 (Check-in at the tables)

What to Wear: Old clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet/dirty and waders or rubber boots if you have them. (We may have extra waders and rubber boots for those who don’t have them.)

Registration: No formal registration is necessary. Adults will be required to sign a waiver onsite. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is authorized to sign the waiver on their behalf.
