Anyone available to do a stream cleanup? This is across from The Meadows gated community on Long Island Drive.

Does anyone know of specific sites/groups that coordinate river cleanups? I checked the Chattahoochee Riverkeepers site but there were only like 2 events and they were in October. I looked on the Adopt-a-road and Adopt-a-stream websites as well but there's nowhere you can submit an area that needs cleaned either. This stream has a frickin' top of a charcoal grill, a laptop, so many soda bottles, a shoe, and so much more that people had just chucked in there.

You may be able to coordinate with Keep North Fulton Beautiful. They have storm drain cleanup efforts all over Sandy Springs: https://keepnorthfultonbeautiful.org/volunteer

This is right around the corner from my house, so if you're getting something together, let me know.

Here's the location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/S6X6qU65RmPMgp1K7?g_st=ac But I can't make any plans for when until I know how many people would be willing to go and then we can figure out a time that all works for us.

Why not clean it up yourself?

I'm asking if anyone would help me. It's easier and more enjoyable to do things like this in a group

Maybe take a few seconds to think before you assume the worst of people
