The 6th Annual Red River Cleanup has been scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7.

According to the organizer's website:

In 2010 an avid group of outdoor enthusiasts held a recreational paddle down the Red River which revealed a trash problem that seemed to be flowing under the radar.

Wanting to make a difference, the Red River Cleanup was formed.

 

For the past five years, more than 1,280 volunteers have participated in clearing 37,400 pounds of trash from the Red River and its surrounding areas.

This year, the cleanup will begin at the Stoner boat launch at 8am. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers, and there are even prizes for the craziest trash found on the banks of the river.

Here is a video of the event from last year.
