This year’s event will take place on Saturday, August 21 from 9 AM to Noon at 225 Cherry Street in Delaware, the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant facility. Participants should park in the first parking lot to the right of Cherry Street.

We will meet at the Cherry St river access, which is the first parking lot on your right when you turn onto Cherry St. (before the Waste Water Treatment Plant).

The Olentangy River, a tributary of the Scioto River. is 97 miles long  It runs from near Galion south to its junction with the Scioto near downtown Columbus.

KDCB will provide trash grabbers, safety vests, gloves, and trash bags. Please wear close-toed shoes that can get wet. Online registration can be accomplished here.
