In conjunction with Join Hands Day, the Halifax/Indian River Cleanup was held May 3, 2008. 

There were several different sites to report to along both rivers.  Click here for a map of cleanup locations.  Volunteers were asked to report to one of these sites to check in, receive trash bags and plastic gloves.  

Volunteers were asked to wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes and bring work gloves.  Rakes, shovels, and trash grabbers were helpful but not necessary.

A total of 635 volunteers collected 17.9 tons of trash.
