Waterway Clean-up Event

Neighborhoods, businesses, and individuals can make a difference in their community by volunteering for the Waterway Clean Sweep Program. Interested parties may apply to schedule their own clean-up date or join others at one or more of our pre-scheduled events.

The Waterway Clean Sweep volunteer program is an organized event that focuses on cleaning up waterways in Oklahoma City. Employees and volunteers will spend a few hours at a waterway removing trash and other debris from the banks and water. 

Check out this short video for clean-up event guidelines.
