Description

Help protect the Chattahoochee and clean up the park you love!

Sweep the Hooch, a Chattahoochee Riverkeeper event, is an annual watershed-wide trash cleanup that brings together hundreds of volunteers each year at dozens of parks, tributaries, and access points along the Chattahoochee River. On March 22, 2025, Chattahoochee Riverkeeper hosted the 15th Annual Sweep the Hooch cleanup at 64 sites throughout the Chattahoochee River watershed. A record-breaking 1,500 volunteers participated and removed 41 TONS of trash and recyclables from the river basin!

Visit the Sweep the Hooch website to learn more and sign up to volunteer. Many volunteer sites are within Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, working with park staff and volunteers, and many more are elsewhere along the river and its tributaries. 

 

Registration opens February 14.
