What a Great Rivers Alive Event!
This year’s Rivers Alive cleanup event was a huge success! We want to thank all our volunteers, our loyal groups, individuals, Scout troops, parents and our civic participants – we couldn’t do it without you. Over 300 volunteers, many seasoned volunteers, along with much welcomed newcomers, walked approximately 10 miles over Walton County, picking up 480 pounds of trash and debris. Items picked up included over 400 cigarette butts, over 300 food wrappers, 200 plastic drink bottles, over 100 aluminum drink cans plus over 600 food related items . We have two scout troops with a scheduled pick up in November and look forward to their adding to the totals of items littering our county
We always appreciate the support of our Sanitation Dept. and our Sheriff’s Dept. for assistance with safety and disposal. We couldn’t do what we do without them.
