Join the fun! Human Access Project, Central Eastside Industrial Council and the River Hugger Swim Team invite you to join in on a cleanup event to remove litter from the banks of the Willamtee River at Audrey McCall Beach and vicinity in the Central Eastside Industrial District of Portland. This is an important time of year to remove litter from the banks of the river so seasonal high waters does not sweep the trash into the river and ocean.

Give back to the river that gives you so much, you will gain valuable river karma - its a great way to start the day. Bring your suit and take a dip to celebrate our hard work and observe our awesome work from the rivers edge after the cleanup!  

Let's work together to keep trash out of our river and protect local wildlife from harmful plastics!

Meeting Location: This event is by pre-registration only. Participants will meet at Audrey McCall Beach, under the Hawthorne Bridge on the Eastside.
Check-in: We will be checking people in between 9:30 to 10 AM to avoid a large group arriving all at once.
Safety Information & What to Bring: Please wear a mask, dress for the weather, bring your resuable water bottle and wear closed-toed shoes. Volunteers will be provided with trash bags and litter grabbers and we will have hand sanitizer on site.
To keep both volunteers and leaders safe, we will be practicing social distancing measures throughout the event. You can help make this both a fun and safe event! We are asking all volunteers to follow these guidelines:

• if you have them, bring your own reusable gloves, litter grabber, and hand sanitizer
• always wear gloves
• abide by 6-foot physical distancing at all times between you and anyone outside your household
• wear a mask, homemade is fine
• cancel your registration and stay home if you do not feel healthy or safe
