After putting this cleanup on hold for a few years due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to have partnered with BlackStrap. Based in Bend, Oregon the company has been one of our longest and most dedicated sponsors.

We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather for our favorite event of the year! The air was warm, the sky was blue, the water was cool to the touch and the scenery and wildlife was picturesque. Fish For Garbage teamed up with GROGA (Green River Outfitters & Guides Association) and other volunteers to either float down the river in various watercrafts or walk along the river trail.

We came back to Strawberry Reservoir for our second cleanup and campout weekend! Our team always enjoys campouts because it gives us an opportunity to spend more time with our volunteers and Fish for Garbage community. We pulled roughly 3,000 pounds out of the reservoir and surrounding areas with the help of 80 volunteers.

Based on our recent years’ success working with the Ogden community we were looking forward to the 2nd annual Ogden River Cleanup.

Starting at 9 am we had a steady push of volunteers grabbing gloves, bags, breakfast bars and swag bags. Followed by a quick conversation on where the best place to find trash and they were off.

Working off the success of the 2021 events we had no doubt that this year's clean up was going to see great participation, new and old friends and plenty of garbage removed from the Lower Provo River. We were not disappointed!
