WVDEP Make It Shine program seeking volunteers for Kanawha River Cleanup on September 12

The WVDEP responded to the initial request for comment within two days asking if Friday (6/6) would be okay for responses, after that message NewsWatch has followed up multiple times with no response.

West Virginia (WOAY) Volunteers are needed for this year’s Kanawha River cleanup.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Make It Shine program is recruiting volunteers to help remove litter along the Kanawha River.

The kickoff is set for Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m until noon.

Cleanup sites will be located along the river in Fayette, Kanawha, Putnam, and Mason counties.

WVDEP will provide bags and gloves, haul away the debris, and all volunteers will receive a t-shirt.

Volunteers can register through the West Virginia DEP website or contact event coordinator Chris Cartwright at 304-389-8389.

Cleanups can also be scheduled through October with prior approval.
