The Great Raleigh Cleanup Founder Preston Ross III, N.C. State Researcher Jack Kirki-Fox and volunteer David transport a trash trap to its new home on Marsh Creek.
In honor of World Water Day, Sound Rivers, the City of Raleigh and The Great Raleigh Cleanup will hold an official ribbon cutting for two trash traps recently installed on Marsh Creek in Raleigh.
The Marsh Creek trash traps add to Sound Rivers’ fleet of passive litter-collection devices located on urban waterways across the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico watersheds — all part of the environmental nonprofit’s Litter-Free Rivers program. The City of Raleigh and The Great Raleigh Cleanup partnered with Sound Rivers to install the traps on Marsh Creek, in a joint effort to remove litter from waterways before it reaches the Neuse River.
Join representatives from the City of Raleigh, The Great Raleigh Cleanup and Sound Rivers for the ribbon cutting at the Stony Brook trash trap at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, March 20, in the Stony Brook neighborhood: Stony Brook Drive between Brentwood Road and Branchwater Circle.
