CRANE HILL - Winston County Smith Lake Advocacy and Renew Our Rivers will host their fall cleanup Thursday and Friday, Sept. 10 and 11, from 8:30 a.m. until noon each day, beginning at Kings Boat Docks, located at 202 County Road 4007 in Crane Hill.
Volunteers will meet at the docks before setting out at 8:30 a.m. each day. After a morning of cleaning up litter and debris from the lake’s shores, volunteers will then return to the docks for a provided lunch from 12-1 p.m.
Renew Our Rivers began in 2000 as a community river cleanup organized by Alabama Power employees from Plant Gadsden concerned about litter found along the Coosa River. Today, Renew Our Rivers is one of the nation’s largest river cleanups. With the help of local community partners, volunteers and organizations, Alabama Power has coordinated more than 122,000 volunteers and removed more than 16 million pounds of trash from Alabama waterways.
Volunteers interested in attending can reach out to Jim Eason at (256) 590-2388.
