The Source to Sea Cleanup is a yearly trash cleanup of the Connecticut River system in NH, VT, MA, and CT – rivers & streams, shorelines, parks, boat launches, trails and more. Each fall, volunteer group leaders coordinate local cleanup sites where thousands of participants of all ages and abilities spend a few hours picking up trash. We all have a responsibility to solve this trash problem – individuals, manufacturers, businesses, and government. By participating in the Source to Sea Cleanup, you are part of the solution for cleaner rivers.

CRC uses trash data collected during the cleanup to support legislation and other efforts of keeping trash out of our rivers. Learn more about how you can join us in calling on leaders and decision-makers to do their part to ‘Stop Trash Before It Starts.’
