The 30th annual Lake Travis Cleanup takes place this Sunday

The 30th annual Lake Travis Cleanup – the largest scuba diving, shoreline and waterway litter pickup in Texas – is set for 9 to 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, at Travis County parks surrounding Lake Travis as well as several other dive sites and shoreline neighborhoods. Volunteers will remove trash from the shoreline, creeks and parks that feed into the Texas Colorado River Basin. Registration is open for participants, who can register online to volunteer at their favorite Travis County park or in their neighborhoods. Dive volunteers can register by contacting participating local dive shops and groups. A contact list is available at www.laketraviscleanup.org. “The Texas Colorado River supplies drinking water for 1.5 million people in Central Texas as well as providing us with fun, recreational opportunities,” Adrienne Longenecker, Colorado River Alliance executive director, said in a statement to the media. “If it goes on the ground – it ends up in the river. We are dependent on the river and the river is dependent on all of us working together to help keep it litter free.”
